>I have been asking that same question about the Rodney Dangerfield of MSFT. I went to a free seminar on Building SQL Server Applications. The presentor (not an MSFT employee) said that he thought that Access was the best RAD and you had to write to much code in VB. Someone in the audience asked him about VFP and the presentor said that you have to write to much code and it is tied to Xbase. I asked the presentor why was Xbase a 'dirty' word. His reponse was that it is hard to find good XBase programmers and it is the OOP that is keeping it alive.

VFP demand seems to be very regional. Here in Salt Lake, we always have a demand and most pay very good.
