No, I guess if (a big IF) VFP is fazed out soon, I'll be disappointed also and would have to adjust. But I don't understand why some feel a special bond to a particluar language. Now to have a special bond to a '62 Corvette, that I understand. :)

I get a feeling that to some, making sure that VFP survive is their life long calling.

Oh well to each to his own,... I guess :)


>I guess that feeling of " I will do it any way it needs to be done." works for you. I also imagine there wouold not be a big problem in my case to make a language transition if it came to that. Perhaps my secondary work in Java, etc. will eventually become my mainstream. But please forgive me if I lament the possibility of many years of Fox development going down the tubes.

>>>The only problem I (and probably others) have with that, is that we don't always have the time to learn the language, and certainly not time to get real-world experience of using that language.
