>It seems that everywhere I go, folks hate FoxPro. The last comment I got was that it was a super version of a spreadsheet program.

>We have a totally FoxPro environment in one department that handles litterally $100 Billion dollars worth of transactions a year. It works fine. The accouting package in that department is SBT which is written in FoxPro. Still, the community at large hates the application. I really get beat up when I talk with Oracle and SQL Server guys.

Randall,

I don't want to speak for everyone else on this thread but I think I can safely said we all understand exactly how you feel.

A couple of years ago I went to a SQL Server seminar and they had nothing but VB/SQL examples about everything. Not only that, but also the instructor kept on bad mouthing VFP until I really got tired and I told her off.

Also, recently at my current job we are moving to a SQL back end, not for security reasons, not because scalability reasons or what ever other reason you can think of but mainly because if we want to go public our company is worth two to three times as much if we say we have a SQL database. How about that for a bad (VFP) reputation?

Alex.-

NOTE: I'm still deeply in LOVE with VFP!!!!!!!!!!! I'M A VFP DIE HARD FAN!!!
