Sorry, Kevin. I really meant no offense, just that I think you are failing to see what many perceive as an obvious problem. I agree that those who are likely to feel the pain first are the contractors. Unfortunately that represents a pretty significant percentage of the FoxPro community. Ultimate, though, that shrinking job market is very bad news for all of us.

I sincerely wish you the best both in your ongoing VFP efforts and your explorations into .NET.
