>But why even try?, don't get me wrong, I like VFP, and It's the only tool I've used for professional development, but if I was working with a company and they asked me to use another tool, I'd say great, the more I know the better, unless I felt that VFP or some other language for that matter was way better than they're proposal, or they we're asking me to use something outdated.

The company won't necessarily expect "me" to do it, other people would be brought in - that's my main concern.

>Or, further more, you can compromise, how about an n-tier application with Oracle as a back end.

Other options (in our preference) is to use Sql-server as a backend.
