>IMHO the best "leadership" today would be ongoing discussion of options- not just NET and typed datasets, but also staying with VFP, dLinq, PHP, dabo, the VFP compiler, even dBase.

Oddly enough I had a lovely and lengthy conversation today with the President of RealSoftware about what fits and what's missing in RealBasic as a possible tool for the VFP community. He's actually open to adding features that we know and love.

I suggested the VFP community might be grateful. I wish I hadn't suggested that.

The VFP community appears these days to be made up of spoiled entitled brats who want everything done for them, their way, and when someone does it for them they're told "NOT GOOD ENOUGH!".

I definitely need to step away from the UT for a while. This is NOT the Fox community I've known for 20+ years.
