I don't think that's going to happen for quite a while. Many small businesses don't have a need for SQL Server and it's associated costs and therefore will continue to use something like VFP. With 90% of all businesses falling in the small business category, that leaves a lot of work for us. As for the businesses that will require SQL Server, we can still develop the front and middle tiers in VFP.
