First reason:

VFP is packaged with the other developer tools in Visual Studio.
Access is packaged with the other secretary's tools in MS Office.

It it pivotal to decide whether the factors they use in their analysis were weighted the same way you would weight them. Eg, why is your car right for you? Mine is right for me because it's purple, and it's paid for. Yours might be right for you because it is fast or impresses people. Would you think my car was a "good" car? Maybe not.


>I have been a foxpro developer for many years now and I am recently running into a battle with a group that wants to come in our organization and develop an application in Access. This group presented an 'independent analysis' of Foxpro vs Access done by a company called 'Pivot Software' based somewhere in Asia. In their analysis, they are recommending Access 2000 vs Foxpro.

>I'd like your help in getting as much information as I can on this, because in my mind, I trully see no comparison between the two systems and foxpro being much more robust in application development.
