Software dev. has come to a close in this company, due to govt changes in legislation et al. So it looks like I'll be doing neither foxpro nor dev work at all in the near future.

>>Most of the VFP openings I've seen lately are conversions from VFP to something else (.NET usually). Next week I'm moving to a new contract that is doing exactly that.

>>I see very little for actual VFP development. Sad, but true..
