John:
Why show them what they already know? Show them what differentiates VFP from other products; its flexible cursor engine and OOP features.
This is what I would do to show off these features:
(1) Create a clever GUI based on a class heirachy emphasing the reuseability of its components and how hanges can be propagated through all instances by making a change in only one place.
(2) Create cursor objects subclassed from a base cursor class that has all kinds of cool functionality.
(3) Create data environment objects subclassed from a base data environment class that has all kinds of cool functionality.
(4) Show how to run stored procedures using the "CALL" syntax (faster than EXECUTE) with only one line of code.
(5) Do some local data maniputation stuff like setting relations, indexing, filtering, etc.
(6) Show how to create update parameters on the fly for your update stored procedures and integrate them into your base cursor class.
(7) Show an XML class for creating XML strings that also also creates hierarchical XML from tables engaged in a relation.
(8) Show them how robust VFP data can be on a LAN and how they can potentially save their customers a lot of money by avoiding SQL Server.
