Do not know if that is a consolation though. You mean it's that bad. You seem to be free to talk though, or is it not _that_ bad :).

Therefore, if VFP loses future - well, we've made good friends here, and we had lots of fun and learned a lot on OOP and C/S and all the cool stuff, and will have a nice couple of years while VFP inertia lasts, during which we may switch to anything you like. With the advent of Tahoe and announcement of VFP7, I think we're safe for at least four years.

I do not think it is really a question of choice even. You do not stop everything and go out and learn a new langage and programming environment. I'm lucky too. Lots of programs written in Foxpro, that await Y2K upgrads, so yes I guess I'm safe untill 2002 as well.

Take care.
