Malcolm:
This isn't all bad. Your going to gain
experience and
wisdom, and your resume will only look better.
I would just look at this as a excellent opportunity for your professional career.

>To date, we've been programming in both VB and VFP. However, because we had recently decided on MS SQL Server, they want everybody to program in VB (one language). I know nothing about VB, therefore, could not come up with anykind of an arguement not to abandon VFP - except for VFP can do anything VB can and better.

>I am so comfortable programming in VFP and feel I can do just about anything with it. Just hate the thougt of learning another program just to do the same things that I could do in VFP.

>1. Abandon DBFs/DBCs and use MS SQL Server
