. >>The more you learn, the more you CAN learn.

That's true.
The VFP developers who stretched VFP with N-tier development, SQL backends, etc have a much easier time moving to other platforms.
Now that I'm working on other platforms, I'm wishing I had stretched VFP more, even tho the immediate apps I was developing didn't require it.
In the original mainframe world, which began with the Sort, Summarize, List pattern, those developers who took the trouble to learn to develop CRT-based real time mainframe applications had no trouble moving to mini's and PC's.
