Hi Tom,
This doesn't surprise me. MS-centric developers tend to think VB is the end all, be all but every foray I've had into a large enterprise has shown me that the mission-critical apps are Oracle front and back-ends, or Powerbuilder, or HTML, or something else. As to the VFP results....sadly, probably 150 of those 241 are bogus insofar as the rate is minimal or it was listed to satisfy some other purpose.
Well...for the most part, we all seem to be working so bugger the stats :-)
