Hi Victor,

>Yes you're right, fox code can be called from .net and visa-vera. My concern isnt so much of a technical nature as it is a practical one. What it boils down to is the simple fact that since there is no VFP .NET how the heck are you supposed to convince CLIENTS (you know, the people that pay my bills and stuff) to use it? I can jump up and down and point to 100 web pages that say 'yeah, its the right tool for the job' but there is no hiding the fact that compared to VB programmers our numbers are small. Clients worry about the 'run over by a truck' syndrom (lost developer) and what are the odds of finding a local VFP guy as opposed to a local .NET guy?

What are the chances those clients would allow you to use VFP.NET? IMO, a .NET version of VFP would not change any of this.
