I have downloaded and tested his products and yes, they are amazing. They are not the equivalent of what I envisioned though. The closest thing was the VFP Toolkit for DotNet. Perhaps they will be one day, but not yet.

>Tracy, you are not dreaming! That was the point of my original post! Samuel David at eTechnologia has such a product! ( http://www.etecnologia.net/ ) I have been beta testing it for a while now and I can tell you that it is *VERY* exciting. He was interviewed for a UT Magazine article last November. It works *NOW*. There are still a few things missing but right now, you can write your code in VFP and compile it into CIL or a .Net exe. The possibilities are endless. You will be able run your VFP app as a web app, run it on a handheld or whatever else you can dream up. They also have another product that is already out for sale (The Extender) that allows you to use all the .Net assemblies in your existing VFP code running as a VFP app! Very cool! My point was that we all need to pay the $120 for the extender which gets you the beta version of the .Net compiler as well. We need to provide good feedback and requests for further enhancement of the product. This company is very innovative
>but they will need our help to be successful. If you look at this product you will be amazed! I should tell you that I have no connection with eTechnologia other than being an excited beta tester and user.
