$4,000 is a lot of money until you look at the costs for Oracle forms(!)
Something to consider: check out the MSP (Microsoft Solution Provider) requirements at the MS website. Last time I looked you needed to have at least 2 ?MSCE and you can be a MSP. check on the MS site to be sure. Once you are a MSP they send you free copies of heaps of stuff. Alternatively check out local Microsoft Partnership provisions, sometimes you can get multiple licenses of approved products for a few hundred dollars.
Or you could make yourself loved by providing heaps of advice and assistance to people here, after which you might become a MVP and get MSDN for free. < g >
My advice for now: upgrade from VFP6 to the lowest dotNET option, from memory the cost is <$200 with the upgrade.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
