>It is easy for me to relate to Rebecca about the demise of FoxPro. Because when upper management hears all these rumors it makes them want to wait to see what will happen with Fox in the furture. They are so afraid of moving to something that may not be supported in the future that they are willing to continue to develop in FPW 2.6. I know this sounds crazy but I'm watching it happen right before my vary eyes. They tell me that they don't want to re-tool again.

Sounds like a good time for you to tell management the way it is. As a
technical professional, you do not want to fall very far behind the
thecnhology. Find a new job that will keep you in the "new", then
tell them adios...and let them know why.
