>While I think the loss of VFP would be a bummer, it certainly wouldn't leave a gaping hole. I would probably move to PowerBuilder or learn Java... I don't think I could move to VB unless someone offered me a GREAT deal or they got a full object model.

Yeah. Powerbuilder is the tool I'd use for data centric apps if VFP wouldn't exist. Is a good choice, completely data-centric and very OO.
