VFP, on the other hand, had nowhere to go but up from the sad condition it was in 3 years ago (as far as attitude toward it). Definitely, the trend has reversed for each product here...

Hi Bruce

I remember companies was giving offer all people that finish 1 week training in powerbuilder big bucks. Man I envied them back then.

I heard story about govt. database project done in VB and cost big $$$$ then all scraped to be redone in Oracle.

VB hype is everywhere like Powerbuilder used to be but I guess We have to wait to see if VB going to make in the database arena.
