Hey Tom,
I'm "into" what Steven B is saying. It's lucid & refreshing. What I was saying is that Ken's assertion about no thread, no MS, no Ken is encouraging one to move from VFP doesn't take the job market into consideration. The job market and university curricula *are* saying move from VFP. Congrats on your current VFP jobs regardless.

Perhaps Tom Bellmer's concerns are best understood in this context and need not be refuted...assuming, of course, that Tom likes employment, too? Tom?
