>VFP team has yet to announce the cool features of the next FOX version according to R. GREEN of MS. That said, we should not expect some media exposure of VFP at this point in time.

Jess, thanks for that. You gave me an idea. I went and searched new.cnet.com for "foxpro". The last
article was in August 1999. Then I searched "visual Basic" - and got February 2000. That tells us quite a bit.

FoxPro is dying due to MS's lack of marketing - no matter how much work the current VFP team is
doing. I have accepted this fact and am busy learning and using other tools. I love VFP but I am
a contractor and have a wife and two daughters to feed. I go where the demand is. And VFP is NOT
in demand where I live. It used to be - I worked for 2 years on a foxpro project during 1996-1998 but that
was my LAST project.

So now: ASP, JavaScript, VBScript, ADO, SQL Server 7.0.

Soon: Java.

Next year: I have no idea!
