>HELP ME IF YOU CAN -- I am trying to gather as much information as possible to convince him that his consultant is wrong.

Rafi,

George Goley, of MicroEndeavors, wrote an article a while ago that talked about VFP, as well as the other M$ development packages. I'm not sure where you can get your hands on a copy, but, I know that Colin Keeler used to have a copy on his Web Page, also Foxpro Advisor Site had a copy. He states his arguments much more eloquently than I ever could.

Good Luck.
