Agreed. The market has clearly been moving in that direction. Heck, a new app should probably be mobile enabled as well. PC desktop apps have had their day in the sun. IMO it's going to be mostly legacy work from here on out.

>Would I modify an existing VFP app today? I can't answer that. It depends on too many factors that are not available to this discussion. I would not start new development in VFP today.

>>Do you disagree that VFP is dead? or about my suggestion to use C#/SQL? And to say " web is the way to go.", well that depends entirely on whether or not it's a web app. Not all enterprise level applications have any business being web apps. But in both cases, Web or Windows, C#/SQL is the clear answer.
