>>My boss is saying that VFP is not supported in 2012
VFP is just one of countless C++ V7 apps that people expect to keep using on Windows. People are concerned that compatibility suddenly may be lost- but MS is a smart company that knows not to alienate large chunks of user base, especially after recent experience with Vista, Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
If you are concerned, consider a product called VFP Compiler that fixes known VFP bugs and also allows you to compile your VFP app using VC11/12/13 rather than the original VC7, or even to compile to 64-bit that should silence any suggestion of impending doom. However, 64-bit is not recommended as you lose useful dlls and flls and the ActiveX controls taken for granted in 32bit need to be purchased separately for 64-bit. 32-bit is fine and can be expected to work for as long as matters to any of us.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
