>Mark, that sounds great. But fact of the matter is, when I check the classifieds here in Los Angeles area, there are great number of VB positions but very rare to find one for VFP. I've also seen positions looking for both VB and Foxpro skills but to "maintain current Foxpro-based app and rewrite app in VB...". I've never seen an ad that said "rewrite VB app in VFP...".

>Moreover, understand my current position. My current company have a lot of both big and little Foxpro apps in all versions, even in Foxpro 2.0 DOS! Sooner or later those have to be rewritten and the new IT Director wants to move away from Foxpro/VFP. IT manager sees the merit of VFP but likes the browser-based front end. Although I prefer VFP, I'm comfortable with both VFP and VB. You guess what my new projects are going to be developed in.

Going to the web doesn't mean the demise of VFP. Get a copy of the January, 1999 (?) issue of Software Development magazine that says that of all the tools in Visual Studio, Visual FoxPro is the one best suited for middle-tier development.
