Sorry to hear you may not be working with FoxPro any more. But (seriously) look at the upside. It sounds like you may get experience in one or more of Java, .NET, and SQL Server -- and get paid for it. That's not so bad at all.

Re Powell, whether or not he knew his words were untrue, it still wasn't his shining moment. I have always liked him and hope he was just duped by Cheney and his henchmen.

>They haven't told me yet what I'll be doing when the conversion is over, but they have Java, .Net, SQL Server, DB2. And they have an upcoming project to implement Great Plains and modify all their existing interfaces into their old accounting system. So VFP no more, probably within the month.
