Well, I know. Today, I'm a VFP developer earning money with VFP projects. C/C++ will remain languages which I have some experience in, but I'm in no position to call myself an experienced VC/VC++ developer. To much has changed in this time, esspecially when it comes to best practises and interfacing the windows API, there is a lot to learn :(

I'm afraid it will take two months (or even longer) to get proficient again.
