The next time you go to get a contract that wants VB or whatever...


1. Tell them you will do a mock up of the system in VFP 8.0 and show them in a week to two weeks.
2. Work your a$$ off to make it happen.
3. When they ask you, or any other developer, how long it will take in VB give an honest answer. Any where from 6 months to a year to get to the point you are at right now with VFP.

If you have the right tools:
- VFP
- MereMortals
- WestWind
- SDT
- Foxfire!
- Others... many others


If you know those tools very well:
- Pump out some of the main forms with 80% to 90% functionality.


And, you have a great support team:
- hmmm who would that be... UniversalThread.


The client will not change development platforms!
