>I suggest signing up to www.monster.co.uk. There are loads of VFP jobs in
I think I'll go check that out myself :)

>VFP is used a great deal in the financial sector, so you would do best to look there.
It certainly used to be down here in the South. IIRC the UK offices for Chase Manhattan based in Bournemouth used to employ quite a few VFP developers, though I think they have now switched to PowerBuilder. There was also a big insurance company (whose name escapes me) in Bournemouth that I went to an interview for years ago tha also done some work in VFP. And, the company I work for uses VFP exclusively, as does a couple of our competitors.
But... I haven't seen a VFP job in any of the trade rags for years.

I have to agree there. The UT provides the best source anywhere for VFP info, and a bigger and more useful cross section of developers for peer support. I hardly ever visit the UK web site, which annoyingly and outside
the spirit of the Fox community, has a private login for subscriber only (OK, I'm a member and can get in, but I disagree with it on pronciple!)
I think the UK fox users should relocate there!
