>I've never seen salaries for Fox developers here in SLC as high as they are now. I can also show you articles from VBPJ that say the average VB programmer isn't very good. He's generally self-taught and has no concept of development life-cycle or writing maintainable code.

Craig:
Did you see the twister? I've seen 2 of them, and thats enough for a lifetime as far as I am concered.

Take a lousy VB programmer vs. a good VFP developer and guess who could find a job first with better pay. The current job market wants VB developers. I've had the same problem with not finding other jobs. Headhunters in the Chicago area won't talk to you unless you know VB/SQL. So that is what I am learning. Mind you, I prefer VFP over VB and this is not meant to be a VFP slam. But the reality is that companies want VB developers not VFP.
