>>I will clarify that Gartner is more focused on large enterprise solutions at this time and in general, VFP as a stand alone product does not fit in that category<<

How large is a large enterprise solution? My customers are mostly large hospitals with several hundred million pound (or dollar) budgets. Our most recent site uses 450 fat client data entry seats and >2000 browser front ends, all using VFP.

This is an area where Gartner DOES have interest- in fact they publish a focused health bulletin which is where there advice re VFP first came to my attention.

If Gartner is not going to rebut the advice, I guess we'll just have to get used to it. I am quite confident that if they say it again you'll tackle them.

Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
