Me either. I also do not understand the rationale of whether MS kills the product or not. Heck, if MS killed VFP today, I could still go on using the product as is for years until it became technologically obsolete. In the mean time, I could learn another language.

I just did a Satellite Forms app for Palm pilots. Talk about a different world. While it works quite well, the techniques I had to employ are quite rudimentary compared to VFP. The mental key is to always think minimalistically. For some of us, that ain't too difficult which is why I was successful at it. < bg >
