Hi --

I would disagree. I don't see the demand for VFP decreasing, rather I have seen it taken a bit more seriously in some quarters. What I have also seen is several massive VB projects come in overtime and overbudget and underfunctional, causing people to rethink technologies.

>The demand for Visual Foxpro is steadily decreasing. I have no intention of rekindling that obnoxious thread about the death of Foxpro, but why doesn't it get more respect? Often, SQL Server is unnessesary in many environments, and VFP is such a scalable product. Visual Basic can't make that claim! I demand that MS stand behind their product. I'd also like to see a direct hook into SQL Server, without using ODBC. VB's ability to edit and debug back-end stored procedures makes me want to look at the product more seriously.
