Hey Jim;

Just wanted to make my own little marketing comment. I pretty much agree with most of what has been said here. JVP has been right on and Erik as well.

I remember back in about '95 I was at Foxteach in Toronto and I spoke to Robert Green when he was still working with a company I think out of Chicago. He said to me, "Foxpro is a product that Microsoft would never have created if they didn't already own it." A very perspicuous statement by the man in charge. However, he was very right then and the statement is just as true now.

That's not to say VFP doesn't have its niche in the MS world. But it's a niche we have created. As JVP has noted, it is not a tool MS endorses for the Enterprise, but it doesn't make it any less powerful of a tool.

Anyway, with dedicated VFP'ers, I think this tool will be around for a while!
