Hi William,

The last time we looked at migrating from VFP, we were pretty disappointed with the abilities of the other languages to quickly create a reliable app (granted .net was not out at the time). We finally gave up on VB, and picked up a VFP framework instead.


Recently we've been using VFE, and have found it extremely fast to develop in. It takes a ton of the tedium out, and puts a lot of stability in. Also, I just took a class in using VFE to develop SQL 2000 apps, and it is WAY COOL!!!

If you've been writing for any amount of time in VFP, you might give one of the frameworks a try, before you dump all your experience, and go for another language...

Good luck.

Daniel
