>I can only tell you that I'm still spending plenty of time with VFP although I also spend a fair amount of time working in .Net. This doesn't mean I'm deserting VFP in any way, nor do I think that everybody has to migrate to .Net. But I perceive .Net to be too important to ignore.>

I agree. As a matter of fact Ken Levy asked me at a conference what my thoughts were on VFP and dot net. I told him I loved VFP because I can get things done much more quickly than in the other languages I'm familiar with and I'd hate to see it go away. However, if it does, I'll continue to use it and learn whatever I deem to be the best tool for the future. Having learned a little Java, I also learned I didn't like it - primarily because of the tools. Dot net is looking better - except for all the crap that you have to have to make it work. At least I'll have you guys to help me learn. I've also purchased Kevin's framework, which I understand you'll be having a part in.

It boils down to grow or die!

ps. y'all keep up the great work!
