>I have to quote on an VFP project of simple accounting system, now my problem is that from last 1 year I have not worked in VFP, working .Net and C# but I have started my career long back in 1989 with dbase/foxpro. So this is always my my first priority development platform. Can anyone suggested what should I charge for this project on hourly basis.

Ashish, each country and region is going to have a different hourly rate for contractors in any field including programming. The best option would be to check the going rates at an IT recruitment / temping agency in the area in which the contract is being offered.
Also think about the value of your skills vs. other developers. Not all developers are equal in skill , knowledge, and experience. Perhaps your unique combination of these attributes will allow you a higher than average rate.
