>I think what Nadya and Cathy bring up here are valid concerns. Sticking with or getting away from VFP is not a technical issue. Yes, sometimes you do use other products for technical reasons. However, this issue is much bigger than that. It is whether you have the ability to earn a living to support yourself, your family, your kids, dog, cat, etc..

Yes ... That's exactly my point! It's not whether or not I can use VFP to build the best solution for my clients. It goes without saying that VFP is a viable tool. The point is, I recently had a few clients decide not to use VFP anymore because they are finding it difficult to find onstaff programmers -- not because they don't like the tool. What this means to me is that I just lost two clients which makes it that much more difficult for me to earn a living and support my family. I'm also having a difficult time trying to find new clients to replace those I lost.
