Hi George.
It just seems like a natural "progression" for the foxpro language. And since most of us know it already we are in good position, if it does happen.
I would say foxpro has something going for it that dBase does not - power and speed.

We use SQL2000, and it is good to see that you no longer have to jump through 10 gazillion hoops to change a structure of a table. It is VFP-like to manage. Just change structure and go.
