It would suggest twice as many programmers use Delphi as use VFP, if you take Borlands figures as gospel, or Mircosoft's for that matter.

>>>>Notice that only 241 jobs were opened in VFP compared to 13,321 for VB. That's 55 to 1 for VB and 165 to 1 for C++. If there are 3 million VB programmers "out there" then there are only 54,545 VFP programmers. If you assume 15 million VB coders then about 250,00 VFP coders exist. Do you think that VB coders make up 18% of the US population, or 2% of the First World?
