>>I am having doubts about Visual FoxPro as a developer's tool. I was at Chapter's Bookstore ( a book superstore ) and I did not find a single VFP title. Of the five walls of shelf space devoted to the computer section, one wall was reserved for Visual Basic, another for Visual C++, and a third for Java. Things are starting to get scarry. I've put too much time into VFP!

>Really?!?!?!? I know people that _couldn't_ get 3.0 books published because the market was too saturated..... Check out someplace like 'Barnes and Nobel' or 'Borders' (If you have 'em up there). They have at least 10 titles each.... Heck, even 'B Dalten' and 'Walden' (not know for Computer Thomes) has 3.0 books. There are numerous "books on-line" type sites, you should find a ton of titles (only half of which are worth anything, I might add IMHO). MS has at _least_ a couple published under MS Press. VFP is alive and well, for now at least (S)....

Everyday I look at job adds in the Vancouver Sun and the Globe & Mail. I rarely see anything for VFP. Not to worry, there's plenty for VB, VC++, and Java.
Sure enough, I'll be getting Visual InterDev. But I'm quite sure I cant survive spending the next 2 years learning VC++. VB is too slow, and VJ++ has a 3GL interface.
Visual Java Cafe Pro is starting to look like the more attractive package.
