>>I used VFP for its producditive. C++ compiler doesn't matter for me. I look for PolarFox. It'll run at web, run with one of SQL servers (I can't remember which one was) directly with seek, VFP select commands, new commands...

Fair enough. But C++ compilation costs me nothing (apart from a small fee to its author!) and reduces risk of breakage if you use a newer VC++. And right now I'm using the x64 IDE that runs quickly and does away with most of the bugs I had experienced in the VFP IDE on Windows 7. One bad bug was the occasional frozen combo in the Find dialog that required a hard stop, losing work. Another was annoying even if you don't lose work: the phantom breakpoint (no breakpoint exists but debug repeatedly stops there anyway) that wastes time when trying to track issues.
"... 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
