Two years ago it also seemed that VFP is just a nice try, and that even M$ didn't back it up properly, and that it may be abandoned in near future. Still, I didn't believe it will happen, because... "pros talk fox" :) Fox has a large base of programmers, many of them for many years, who are sure to buy the next version, and enlarge the software and experience base. In case of Access and VB, there's a lot of people who switched from something else; they might switch to something else tomorrow. Who programmed databases in VB four years ago? Five? Six? And with Fox, you have lots of people who use it for many years (me since '89). So, I think programmers keep the fox alive. And it is alive, and kicking rather hard.
