Okay, so if they had said moving to .NET maybe ... well, you get to learn something new on the company's dime and with no real downside since it was their decision. But VB6 - when all the present VB6 developers are soiling themselves trying to make the transition to OOP ...
GET OUT NOW !! If they are not paying you at least $150k a year with stock and a company plane and free health care for life for you and everyone related to you by six degrees of separation and have pictures of you at the Christmas party with a goat ( and ugly goat) ... ask yourself - do you really want to go to work every day calling people who are this clueless BOSS? <g>
There are other ways to make a living with Foxpro and they are a lot more fun.

the upper management didn't ask us for our opinions on this matter when they made their decision.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
