>>>I'm planning on a "last hurrah" for a 17 year old product that is basically FPW2.6, even though I'm using VFP9. The plan is to make one last major upgrade, bringing the app into the 21st century with a better UI. I've taken a brief look at CodeMine, MereMortals, and ProMatrix. Of the three ProMatrix seems to be the only product with something of a user community, training videos, current updates, and a free version to play around with.

Ahmen, nothing the matter with VFP that wasn't put there by MS. Aside from that, this is a rejuvination, not re-write. I want to get more mileage out of existing code. I'm no great prognosticator but I am willing to bet there won't be serious problems running VFP ten years from now. It may look a little tired but I'm pretty assured it'll still be doing the job.
