>I've read J. Booth's message a little more carefully and it doesn't really apply to what I was saying. I am sorry. Let me try to be a little clearer. I've been told that we are the ones responsible from keeping a product from dying. Which means we would have to supply our own brand of marketing. If we were to follow Mr. Booth's advice, the customer is not going to really care what tool created the solution, so this would really not help our cause. > >How much responsibity can we afford to lay on MS's shoulders. We have spent the time and the money. If we really feel that VFP is a worthwhile product than the least we can do is spread the word any way we can. The point we don't have to sit and watch. We can play an active hand. What will keep VFP alive is one factor and it's not is VFP profitable although it is related to that. The real question is: Can Microsoft make more money with VFP than they would if they used the resources it takes elsewhere. It's not enough for VFP to turn a profit. If MS can take the people who work on it and use them on another product and make a bigger profit, VFP is dead. I'm not saying that this is wrong, BTW. Of course spreading the word will help and we can do our bit in this regard. Time will tell if our efforts are successful. Gary J.
