John,
>To clarify, are you now in the camp of those that feel VFP is not in the future as far as the direction of MS tools are concerned and that VFP developers should seek alternatives?
Definitely not. I'm in the camp of those who believe that it's best for VFP developers to continue using VFP *and* learn .NET.
