>>I went through a similar event in 1994-95. We got a new IT director who was going to change everything! So, I found a new job! A few months later the entire IT staff of programmers and the "new" director were fired. That amounted to 41 people.

I think I will leave the boat when the time come, It's just that I'm willing to fight for it by trying to build a solid business case to send to the CEO before a decision is taken. I will try to reverse my director's decision with facts and numbers. But the main obstacle is the non commitment from Microsoft. I've been deveoping Fox application for about 12 years, I saw FoxPro be bought by Microsoft, It was the first Xbase product in a Windows workd, It was the First Object oriented Xbase product. Microsost always use it as a ginea pig but never promote it's.

It's like an adopted child that you never love...

I'm wishing that with VFP8 everething will change.
