Thanks Ken Levy.

One of my co-worker, Larry Hawke, has plans to contact you. He is much more articulate then me.


>>They didn't give any reasons or how they came to this decision. Obviously, the VB programmers were delighted, because they now feel that, finally, all the big applications will be written/rewritten in VB6.

>If those decisions makes need more information about Visual FoxPro and you think I can provide it or help in anyway, let me now. There should be no reason to drop VFP work in place of something, and of course VFP works great with .NET, SQLServer, etc.
>
>>I get a feeling they made their decision based on VB-DOT-NET. Actually, they probably don't even know what DOT-NET is. It just seems to be the IT buzz word of the year. I mean, what do they see when they open IT mag? They see DOT NET this and DOT NET that. Where is all the shout out for VFP7? I don't remember the last time I open a IT trade mag. and read a good significant article about VFP.

>Many IT trade magazines do not chose to write about VFP, they feel it is not in their readers interest in general. You can contact them and see for yourself, and I am in the process of communicating with a few with possible upcoming results, but we will have to wait and see.
