Tuvia, you know you are one of my favorite people here so hope you will take this as reasonable disagreement. I think sometimes the best answer is not the one that answers the question directly. As much as I have enjoyed working with FoxPro for the past 20 years (literally!), I don't think it's necessarily a responsible recommendation for new development in 2012. I would have to think long and hard before recommending that any company do that.

OK, as you were, back to amiable discussion ;-)

>>Why purchase/learn a framework for an obsolete environment in order to do a major upgrade (upgrade to an obsolete environment)?

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.
