>>Edward, you make a great point...Specialize in a language with lot's of public attention (VB) _and_ competition or one that has less competition, but fewer opportunities? I guess every professional has that kind of dilema. The best advice anyone ever gave me about business was "be flexible!"

That WILL be nice, Mo.

I have had 2 jobs in the last 6 months re-writing ACCESS programs that couldn't manage to handle the expected workload. One of them was a client who had hired the ACCESS programmers "Because they tell me this will just be cut and paste and they'll have it ready in 2 weeks". They're now using my VFP5 program, after spending 6 months and about $20K on ACCESS.

People ARE learning what VFP can do, they're just slow to change. That's human nature.
