I just want to add....take a look at some of the other products that people are moving to and the reasons why....
"There are no books, etc for VFP. I'm moving to Delphi/PowerBuilder"
Have you ever looked at the number of books/magazines for those products?
Enjoy what we have....remember that the grass is always greener.
