Flame away. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I've been using VFP for a long time now and used it to build all sorts of applications. I love VFP but I also love to develop new software products, particularly on the web. I'm seeing a lot more opportunities to do this using VB/SQL and ASP (and .NET in the future) than I am with VFP even with slick tools like WebConnect out there. With VFP, most of my projects have been maintenance-oriented. Since I've been using VB/SQL and ASP, I've been involved with developing new products which in and of itself is very rewarding, despite the shortfalls of VB (admittedly there are a few).
