If you know VB, and you are faced with getting $125/hour for a VB job and $80/hour for a VFP job - and making the timeframes equal and the type of work - the guy who picks the VFP job over the VB job is not only an idiot - he is a lousy business person.

I usually agree with you but not this time. If you believe VFP developers should switch to VB to make more money, then why not switch to Oracle 8i, UNFACE, SAP, Forte, or any other tool that pays real money.

I am not crazy about UNIFACE but I will continue to accept a few contarcts of this type as long as clients will pay a prenium. If money was my only consideration, then I would only work with UNIFACE and Forte. To push the argument even further, if I had pursued my acturial career, I would probably be a lot richer by now (and bored to death). As far as I know, you are now studying Law. Knowing your aptitude in playing the devil's advocate (no offense intended), I am sure money was not the primary considration...

Good luck for your finals!
