Hi Wayne

I was not trying to advocate for a switch. I was simply sharing information about another product that I thought might interest VFP programmers. I am always looking at what is "out there" and thought I would pass along some of my discoveries for the benefit of others. I have discovered a number of interesting products that I now use because someone mentioned it here on the UT and I followed up the link.

There are a number of database products available so I do not know what all the fear if about if MS stops developing VFP. I am quite interested in learning DOT.net but there are a number of products that could easily be used in the work that I do.

Regards,
Simon



>Seems odd that you would be pushing a switch to something that you have no experience with - and that costs quite a bit more than VFP. What would make someone want to go this route?
