Because about once a week I read a 'foxpro is gonna die - the sky is falling - foxpro is dieing - the sky is falling' out here. Fortunately I find it more amusing that annoying.

>Given the case study that was just published, do you think that is likely? You really cannot reconcile a positive message with the message in this case study - that VFP is not recognized/acceptable platform for app development. The positive spin I suppose is that this article dealt with a web app. One could argue that the app were to remain a desktop app - in the traditional sense - VFP would have been the appropriate choice. But - do you think you are going to hear that message from MS? I don't think you will.

Yes and evenutaly it'll be a good idea to learn something besides .NET when the next thing comes out. Hey you gotta stay with the times!
