Perry,

>The only thing I heard was on an interview for a company that was bringing inhouse an app that consultants were originally brought in to create. Form what I heard the app had some big problems and the higher ups were, in some cases, blaming Foxpro for the app shortcomings.

At one corporate client where I contracted for awhile, most of the main apps were being migrated from whatever they were written in to Oracle with a variety of frontends including Java.

I remember the head of the department one day referring to an app to be replaced as "that FoxPro p.o.s." (and he didn't mean Point Of Sale :-)

In his world, anything written in FoxPro was in that category, simply because it wasn't in Oracle, in spite of the fact that the Foxpro app actually did its job very well. I think that too often the tool is dismissed by those who don't know what it really can do.
