>I'm looking for someone that can coach or tutor me, a VFP coder making the move to Visual Basic with an Access front end. Anyone in need of an aspirant or know of an organization that could help?

>Seriously, I've developed and supported applications written in FoxPro for many years now, but am faced with having to support an Access system with LOTS of VB on the back end. The VB application needs fine-tuning, enhancements and refinements. Were it written in VFP, I'd have no problem. But making the transition to VB and understanding how it handles things hasn't been a quick or easy one.

Yes, the UT forum can help, but I'm sort of stuck between being able to run in one language and hardly crawl in another. Not only syntax, but how Access and VB assume the world is before you try to build something in it.

My VB team Leader will be glad to help you. He is UT#047341, but you should put your request in VB forums.
He is VB(VB.Net) MCSD and we train him in VFP, but he refuse to work with FoxPro. I have enough VB.Net projects that's why I do not pay attention to sentences that VB is extreamly great tool and that MS will stop to support VFP and FP team should learn VB.
