You are taken seriously!

There is one thing that I do know for sure. The volume of materials out on the web for VB, ASP, and XML dwarf what is out there for VFP. That can be a blesssing and/or a curse. The curse is that you have a LOT of material to wade through and like anything else you will find the good with the bad. On the other hand it is quite easy to find anything that you need, from source code to really good tutorials. If a person wanted too they could get a really good start with VB, ASP, and XML by just using the web and they would not have to spend a penny.

I'm really not sure what this means, however, and it would be interesting to get thoughts as to why there is so much more stuff out there as compared to VFP.

Is it just a matter of the number of developers?

Is is just that VB is easier to learn than VFP? ( I really don't think that it is. Way back when it was dbase3,quicksilver,clipper, and foxbase it was all pretty easy to learn if you had the desire..... at least that was my experience.)

All that "stuff" does leave a profound impression. How that impression can be changed for VFP is perhaps the question we should be asking and how we can make that happen. Could it be that the matter just may be in our own hands after all?
If we are not a part of the solution are we not a part of the problem?

There... was that serious enough for you. < g >
