Ok, point well taken...

>I said the "writing is on the wall" is visible to those with eyes to see. I have programmed in Fox since 1988 and love the product. I am working with VFP to this day. There will be enough work in VFP to probably take me through retirement. That doesn't change the fact that VFP is a dying language. Young, smart developers would be well advised to hedge their bets and augment their salability with other development languages now.

>Yep, and they did a good job. I like some of the new features, but again, it is to little to late. The public's and corporate's negative attitude toward vfp is hurting its viability. I was laid off last year. It took me six months to land a job in fox when during the previous 10 years, it only took weeks. Argue all you want. VFP is dying a slow painful death and those that naysay and refuse to look at the situation are going to be caught dead with no backup skills to offer. I will laugh at the mad scramble at that time to learn something else to be viable.
