>The point is, there are many more circumstances where VFP does make sense. This is one of them and by itself proves the ignorance of your statement. You're looking from your own little perspective which has little to do with the world outside. VFP never played a significant role in the big corporate world and implying its dead because of its decline up there is silly. It is in the mom-and-pop applications where VFP still will be significantly present.

It's mom'n'pop now, but... re-read message #1227619, there's some good insight into what kept VFP alive, apart from the community. It was its usage in the military and civil services. I know for a fact that Virginia Unemployment Services (or whatever it was called) ran FP(W? - I'd rather guess something converted into VFP5, quite crude looking), because the guy there stopped asking questions about my data as soon as he heard I was a foxer, and started asking how could I fix the word wrap problem in their exported reports (even more crude report .... ascii).
