UPDATE

Well, it looks like I'll be staying with VFP after all. I found a job with a local company that uses it. I appreciate all the advice and will be sure to come back to it if I ever find myself in this position again.

So many people replied to this and I've lost track of who was talking to me and who was talking on a sub thread. So I'm going to do what I rarely ever do and CC this to all since I'm thanking everyone. If you're someone from a sub thread, please accept my apologies and delete it. There's no need to make another post telling me not to reply to all. :)

Again, thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate how everyone jumped in to try and help me.

Michelle

>Hi everybody. I haven't been around in a while. I did something really stupid. I left a good, comfortable job to take a chance on what seemed like a dream job. It turned out to be a nightmare.

>So, now I'm unemployed. There isn't a big FoxPro market in my area, so I'm going to have to find some new skills. Most comapnies around here do Visual Basic or C++. I think I'd have a better chance teaching myself VB, so that's the direction I'm headed.

>What I'm posting this for is to see if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to get up to speed in VB in a short amount of time. My husband has a couple VB5 books. Is VB6 close enough to 5 that they're usable, or do I need to get something more recent? Any good books for people that already know a visual language?

>I know any search engine would turn up thousands of VB resources, but I'm coming here because I want the opinion of fellow Foxers, not some reviewer that thinks VB is the be all and end all of languages. I know, first thing I need to do is lose the negative attitude towards VB. :)

>Any (helpful) suggestions on what I should do, VB or other, would be appreciated. I don't have much in savings, so whatever I do I need to do quick.
