>Please excuse me for being rude by chiming in here. If you are truly looking out for your employer, you must consider how difficult it is to find a knowledgeable VFP programmer should you leave. I am having the most difficult time finding someone locally who knows more about FoxPro than how to spell it.

Jack,
As Evan have already said, you bring up a good point. I'm in a similar situation now. I've be totally rewriting a FPD2.6 app to Windows and I'm not sure I should convert to VFP or VB! The problem is I'll be leaving this company to work full-time in another company after this project and I'm concerned I won't be able to find qualified VFP programmer to replace me here after I'm gone.

I'm considering using VB since you can find more programmers that use VB but I don't want to use Jet (what an ironic name) and SQL Server is available but who'll maintain this beast after I'm gone (it's a small shop)??

It seems like I have a hard decision to make real soon.

John.
