>This is something that I'm sure many of you have faced before . . . having to defend your choice to use VFP. Within my organization, this was proved only by showing the nay sayers the speed and power of the apps we have developed. Now, we are in a position to market our suite of reconciliation software to other parts of the country (Canada).

However, invariably, there will be a tech person from the other organization(s) who knows absolutely nothing about VFP and will force us to defend our choice in using the product. As I mentioned, I feel comfortable doing so – however, the one thing I would like to have is a list of some ‘high-profile’ companies that use VFP in some form or another. Can anyone help me out on this one – or point me to source that has related information?

We use it here in Memphis, TN at the Sheriff's Office, the Attorney General's Office and the Memphis Police Department. I've just landed a deal to use WC and VFP to generate reports for the Memphis Police Department. I am talking with their Records Management System vendor about also doing similar applications at other major metropolitan police departments. The current project is using Web Connection to pull data from SQL Server and return either HTML or MS Word documents. The vendor was blown away by how much faster VFP, using COM and Word, or WC was than their Delphi app.
