That's one company...and their perception. But think about it. Of course Access will have a bigger market share. Office is the number one product that Microsoft produces. Every copy of Office has Access bundled in with it. They are comparing apples and oranges...and suffering as a consequence. Access is simply not suited for Enterprise solutions. When MS and Fox merged, Fox was more of a mainstream product, like Access is today. MS has repositioned Fox as a developer tool.

As for market share, it seems to be increasing. I attribute this to a number of things:

1) The Fox team at MS is bigger than it was a year ago.
2) Fox is getting a serious look at by many people since being bundled with Visual Studio
3) My conversations with several people at MS...and that includes people not on the Fox team
4) The VFP certifications exams. These will definately help increase attention on the product.
