I know that I can build apps that deal with data just as well with dotnet/java as I can with VFP. With certain exceptions. You just have to think differently, as they deal with data in a different way.That's fine. Does that qualify you to come along and guffaw at others because they have a different experience?
- I know that as a technologist, I feel more comfortable dealing with dotnet/java folks these days.Have you tried guffawing and scoffing at them yet? ;-)
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to hire a well qualified VFP programmer today.http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FindingGreatDevelopers.htmlIf there's a change request to add a new item to query on, I don't think it would be any different to change the SP vs. change the code to create a new SQL statement to be used in a SPT statement.Not everybody relies on boilerplate reports, Perry.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
