>>I bought a magazine called "PC PLUS". That magazines comes from the united kingdom.

>>This is the august 1999 issue. There is a PROFFESIONAL HEAVYWEIGHTS PRO database group test in it. The products advertised to be tested are "Access 2000, ACI 4D, Visual dBase and Paradox". VFP is not even advertised as being a part of that test. Each of these products have a coverage of about two pages.

>>What do you guess is the product proclaimed to be the best ... tadaaa Access 2000.

>>Wait there is more to it. There is a mention of VFP 6.0 (8 short lines) with the conclusion that this product is not recommended because "... FoxPro faces the same slow decline as dBase ..."
