hi
i'm supporting a clipper app where the management have decided to perform a techical upgrade and invite tender bids.
basically they want to go to .net (because it's fashionable?) and won't listen to my protestations that VFP is the app to use because of it's superb database management features and backward compatibility with DBF files.
one of their reasons was after doing a job search on foxpro on computer futures (one of the largest agencies in the uk) and getting zero results, yes zero! then switching to jobserve.com, probably THE largest in the uk, and getting 10 results only!
my answer that microsoft were committed to vfp at least until 2010 didn't really hild any water after these proofs.
i hate to add to this forum type but can someone please tell me things are not looking so bad?
