>That's true. But when you look at the Times Want ads, there is a general salary range for VFP programmers. The same is true on the VB end. You won't find ads for VFP programmers for 120K nor will you find them for 25K

I look at this now and don't see 25K. In regard to 120K, it's about consulting positions that are valued of the same rate for both VB and VFP. It's another story that number of VB ads is overwhelmingly hogher than VFP (i guess 15 times), but about the same proportion is for number of available developers. You probably know how many computer schools here bake VB programmers.
