Well, the FDIC has taken over a bunch of banks in the last year... :)

>>Hi Colin,

>>I wish I could give the name of the Bank. In fact, there is a Sr. VP (who was once a VFP contractor here) who would love to make it a case study.

>>The fact is that it is against company policy. That is the reason why no one hears of the large VFP projects. There are many of them - particularly with larger financial firms. Also, you never hear about the programmers working on these projects. These teams solve their own problems and have no use for user groups like the UT, DevCons, etc.
>>
>>Futhermore, it's interesting to note that many of the new (you heard me right, "NEW") VFP programmers are here on H1Bs. And I have to say that, for the most part, they are superior in every way to their American counterparts. This is also true with the .NET guys.
