>Ok. Should I continue to invest my time in VFP well into the future. Your opinion/suggestion?

Sure. VFP 7.0 is a great version, and Microsoft is working on a new version (VFP 8.0) with many new features and functionality. But really, this is a question for you to answer. But remember that I am bias towards VFP. Asking me if you should use VFP is like asking a used car salesman if you should buy the used car you are looking at. You should know the answer already. :)
