>I have seen evidence that this is 10 to one. 5,000,000 to 500,000. This is from reading various white papers on the MS site. Of course... I don't have the links. Perhaps this ratio isn't so bad. VFP is a specialty tool for databases while VB is touted as being a jack-of-all-trades.

Yep. Is there local education by you and do any of the schools / universities have at least one course in VB? I am mean from elementary school to grad school. Now how many of them have a course in VFP?

Look through the want ads for VB developers vs VFP. Granted. your paper in Canada could hold the same position's ad as my paper here in Memphis TN. The point is that there is a mention for VFP experience in employment and in contract circles, but there is a DEMAND for VB, and C++.

Will it ever change? Probably not. Will there always be room to sell VFP. Sure, we have propbably made a good livelyhood in doing so too. Will that ever change? No.
