Well call me nuts or crazy, but here is what I think can evenually happen to the language of VFP.

I'm sure you've noticed how simular VFP language is to SQL Server "language".
Therefore, I think language of VFP will eventually become some sort of a scripting language of SQL Server.

As for VFP itself... after version 8.0... who knows?

Absolutely just my opinion. Then again I maybe way off base. :)

>>You are right, Microsoft has already made that decision. Actually, I would love to see VB.NET, C#, etc. have the data processing capabilities of VFP.

>>>We are MUCH better off where we are.
>>Well, thats your viewpoint and you're entitled to it.

>If you want to use .Net, you can. There's nothing stopping you from learning one or more of the .Net languages. I'm currently working on C# and ASP .Net.
