>>>After seeing 4 presentation of VFP 6.0 (Ken Levy, Dev Days, Robert Green and our local VFP user group president). The bottom line is that they are making the product much easier to use. It ships with a build in framework for one. They also have included technologies for building web apps easier.

>P.S. The Robet is very positive about VFP that it is contagious. He echoed what Ken Levy had told us, that we must start thinking in terms of multi-tiered apps. Most likely the business case will be for HTML/Web front-ends. And he said that while VFP while a very capable at front-ends and back-ends is being positioned as a middle-tier tool.


The twit should be told that MANY bugs were fixed in 6.0...some that have existed since the 2.x days.
