Thanks Ken!!!

I am starting to lose that uneasy feeling I've had for the last few years regarding FoxPro. Between the messages regarding half of the FoxPro programmers using SQL Server and VFP being grouped in a Visual Studio Data group, I am starting to feel like VFP is beginning to develope a clearer and more defined role.

My thinking when asked, "Why FoxPro?", I could answer: Well, for accessing and managing data on Desk Top applications, FoxPro is great for working with data such as SQL Server, XML, and it's native xBase type tables. You say you need access to the data from the Web or from PDA devices, No Problem!, we could do all the web stuff in FoxPro or we could use .Net to create the front end and use the same components that control the business logic that we wrote in FoxPro.

I know this is asking too much, but if MicroSoft could label VFP as the "preferred" or "standard" way of accessing data such as SQL Server or XML on Dest Top applications, this would give a tremendous boost to the product.

Thanks again,
