I've converted programs for different clients to VFP that were written in Alpha, Access, Paradox and right now I'm in the process of converting one from Filemaker.

In my opinion these programs are all designed for non-technical end users to set up and use simple databases. VFP does NOT fit into this category and, I believe, should not have been included in the referenced article.

>The January 2003 Issue of PC Magazine includes an article on page 116 titled "Databases for ALL Reasons". Reviewed in the story were:
>Alpha Five v5
>askSam Professional 5
>FileMaker Pro 6
>Microsoft Access 2002
>MyDatabase 6.0
>Paradox 10
>QuickBase
>and the Editors Choice is... FileMaker Pro! Did you notice anything missing here?

>On page 124 there is a one-page sidebar on "Migrating from Access to a High-End DBMS". Some of the questions raised just beg for VFP as the answer!! I have not found the article on-line (yet).
