Hi Jess,

What if its a part time job then? BTW, is it true that the trend of application development in the Philippines is that "a lot of customers who have applications develop in C# wants to re-writes in Delphi? I heard this from my colleauge who is currently in the Philippines. He even forwarded an email regarding the conversion from C# to Delphi. And my colleauge will be the one to do the re-write. Im not quite sure if its tru or not.

FYI, I just found out that Delphi 2005/2007 is like .NET. Its very similar.. try to have a look. http://www.codegear.com/downloads

Regards.

But on the other hand, I see a remarkable development tool being cast aside and that bothers me. I have always viewed VFP as a possible Oracle killer, but MS never went after Oracle which to this day baffles me.
