what? I have to make business plans for myself, I make those plans for a
period of 2 - 3 years at a time. Right now, VFP is fine for the next 2 - 3
years. Next year it is time to read the writing on the wall again.

Jim,
I've said repeatedly that I don't know what is going to happen to VFP. I am
not privvy to that information. All I did was object when someone said that
because Microsoft said there would be a VFP7 that we can take that as
gospel. I hope there is a VFP7 but I don't accept Microsoft's word as proof.
