Hello Sanjay!
There are a bunch of commercial VFP apps in the US and a lot of fortune 100 backends may even be running FP2.6 on their servers. Our SIG in Houston is growing.

I don't sell myself as a FoxPro developer. I sell as a solution developer. Of course, its nice to have VFP as the tool I "solve" the problems with. VFP is [kind of] a wild-catters language - one can never be sure when that next project will lead to a marketable product.

But some of us need that corporate synergy - so do what you need to. Keep your eye on Linux. But from where I stand, VFP looks like it's doing good. Look at whose on the UT. Michelle was interviewed by a French paper - VFP is international!

But - if you can't make it as a VFP developer - then you need to change hats - I thoroughly agree:-). It's not something you should starve for.

>>>Every now and then, I check the UT Jobs section - its popularity seems to have declined recently. Does anybody know whether there are other, more popular, places to search (for instance) for VFP-related jobs? For now, I am asking this mainly out of curiousity.
