I concur. It appears companies are having a tougher time finding *competent* VFP developers to maintain their systems (note I said MAINTAIN).

I've found almost no new development opportunities for VFP based applications.

I can develop VFP based solutions for my customers as long as I don't stress the VFP part, but I try very hard not to develop anything new in VFP bacause it is doing the customer a disservice unless the application lifespan is known to be very short. If a customer has any expectation to use an application more than a year or 2 I will not do it in VFP.
