ROFL!

Hi Bob,

I tried to clarify my point a little to JVP later in this thread. You made the point better than I. When it comes to client-server/SQL desktop apps, there just aren't many VB guys bidding. And, when they are bidding, they are generally over-priced or under-skilled. Either way, I can out perform 'em!

Whenever the Client questioned VFP as a choice, I'd always back it up with, "I can develop this application for you in VFP in two thirds the time it will take the best VB/SQL developer you can find." I never had anyone call me on it, but I'm sure I gave plenty of VB contractors heartburn. ("Well, we had another contractor in here that bid 2/3rds of this!")
