I want to know this becourse management here wants those reports for evaluation of the current softwaretool.

I do disagree with the future of VFP beeing the same as other products. Look at Visual Basic. It's all around us. C++ is a core product. I Don't see much about VFP in the news.

Also saying there are to many developers is not a good reason imho. Java has a LOT of developers. And where is MS J++ ????

I do agree that the product is a part of visual studio and is THE tool for me and the company. Only those F*.. managers should need that knowledge.

KR,
