>I was once called on to consider rewriting a POS application for a major fast-food chain (years ago now). After I wrote up the design and showed them samples they were happy and asked me as an afterthought what language I was going to use. Immediately upon replying VFP they stated "NO WAY!" They had a 'DEVELOPER' (I'll call him a super-user MAYBE) that a wrote a program for them that was nothing but a grid for the users to key data into. They showed it to me and it was pretty embarassing. I informed them that IMHO whoever wrote that app was no developer but possibly an experienced user that knew how to create one control on a form (and then do nothing with it). I still giggle when I remember their response: "Go ahead because we love your sample app, but use the tool you used in your sample app and not VFP." My sample app was written entirely in VFP!

That was a VFP Moment!!!! Mabey the security cameras caught it on tape! Thats hilarious:-)

But it also a sad commentary on the depth of vision potential prospects have. I remeber a lawyer saying that programming is a trade, like painting. There is a big difference in the results one would get if I painted their kitchen cabinets as opposed an experienced painter.

Its difficult to see the blinders when wearing them:-)
