Ed,

>>>What I'm trying to say is not that knowing VFP is not a bad thing, but that investing time and effort in other tools like VB, C++, Java and the like is a smart move, and a good thing, as much as it might be distatsteful to some people to know more than one thing. Especially if you're relying on new job opportunities to pay the rent.

No this is not the reason. The real reason is that i've got some difficulties to figure out WHAT you're saying. Though i respect your lengthy replies, I , as a dutchman have got trouble to get the message. It's pure a matter of translation. I'm not saying that you must simplify your messages to me, but it sure woudl be of any help.
