>In the past, I wanted to learn VB, Delphi, Assember, and some other languages, but I never took the time to learn any one of them really well. It is to high an investment.

Thank you Hilmar. Yous input is highly appreciated.

Why did you consider learning other langues a very high investment? Is it that VFP can do everhtying? VFP will still be around and supported? Or simply that you were only familiar with VFP?

>OTOH, this sort of thinking may leave us "stranded" a few years from now. Or, we may simply be forced to learn another language, because our company requires it.

As a developer, would'nt you be ther person recommending the language that a company should consider? given this, why would you even consider what the "Company" - (who may not have enough information on IT) has to say or suggest?

Hearing from you is valuable Hilamr. Thank you. I hope this thread benefits everyone.
