Your discussion of CoDe's target audience actually gets at something that I've wondered for quite a while, particularly whenever threads like these get going.... is the use of VFP really such an either/or issue? I have worked with four clients in the last 12 months, and in every case we were using three or more tools/languages/protocols.

-- VB & ASP/HTML & Javascript & IIS & COM+
-- VFP & VB & OLE with Word and Excel
-- VB & ASP & VFP & HTML & SQL Server & Javascript & IIS & COM+
-- VFP & SQL Server & VB & IIS

I suspect my own experience is biased by the types or work I do, and/or my region (financials & health, New York City). But still, I find myself wondering... are most people still really using *just* VFP? Is it really either/or? This is a serious question -- does anyone have numbers on this? I suspect they'd be hard to find, and harder still to rely on, but it would be quite interesting.

From my point of view, moving through multiple jobs a year, using multiple languages, this whole "future of foxpro" argument borders on the irrelevant.

While we still have a large number of VFP readers, the growth of the magazine is to the wider .NET audience, and a quick review of the content shows that it cannot be simply defined as a de-facto VFP source.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell
