>Yes. This is a complex question, because there are many FoxPro developers world wide using various version of FoxPro. There are many still using FoxBase, many still using FoxPro 2.x, many still using VFP 3/5/6 but not VFP 7.0. The FoxPro commuity is only a fraction of that total since community means active and partipating members online, conferences, user groups, etc. People using some version of FoxPro is probably 200,000. Delphi has a smaller base world wide than VFP according to my research.

Hmmmm...Interesting. So if you want to look at it that way, then since your taking into account all the various versions of FoxPro you should also consider all versions of Delphi and Borland's Turbo Pascal then, right? How did you go about researching this because my research is not producing the same results - quite the opposite actually. Based on what I've seen Delphi's user base is at least double or 3 times that of VFP and probably more - heck it's not even close!
