>Hi Craig. Well then, I guess I need to move to SLC. I heard it's beautiful there.

Absolutely gorgeous....except for the occassional tornado every 150 years.

We all read through countless threads about first two and I'm not about to continue on that road. But there's no denying that there are overall great many more opportunities for VB positions than VFP and I think this gap will widen in the future. This might be the outcome of heavier MS marketing of VB (another road I don't want to follow) but the fact remains.

I'm not sure I agree that the gap will widen. VFP is getting more attention now that ever. The VFP team at Microsoft is bigger than it has been in a long time, and with it's inclusion in Visual Studio, is getting people to really look at it.

Another thing I just thought of...how did the "survey" base it's findings in VFP salaries? Are there numbers to back them up? Remember that it is coming from a VB magazine, who would have a definate interest in more people using VB.
