Richard,
I've been in FOxpro since FPW2.5 was just coming out. With the same amount of experience, if I'd been in VB, as a full time employee in NYC, my salary would be more than 20K a year more. I really like Foxpro and especially the FP community but if you have a choice, Microsoft is simply not pushinf VFP very much and this is a fact. The marketplace is dictating learing VB which is what I am doing in the evenings.

That's my .02
