>I was curious what people's thoughts on the best way to get into VFP consulting? I had a friend ask me how I got started, but in my case it just kind of landed in my lap and went by word of mouth from there. He's a great VFP programmer, but is unsure where to start when it comes to clients. I didn't really know what to tell him so I figured the knowledgable people from UT would have some better suggestions. Any idea/comments would be appreciated. :)

Tell him to approach either a relative or a friend who runs a small business that could use a computerised system. Have him make an application for FREE. Then have him keep a sharp look-out for VFP adds in the paper and the UT. If he gets an interview, have him take his application with him for a demo. If it is good, they will hire him on the spot.
