That's what's happening at my current employer...


>OK, that's the quantitative, now for some qualification... ;)

>A considerable % of FoxPro positions I've seen over the last two years are due to the following:
>
>- Company 'ABC' has a VFP product/vertical market app
>- Company wants to move to new technology (.NET,Java) for variety of reasons (technical/marketing-competition)
>- Company puts together a new technology plan and team
>- Because new plan will need 6-12 months (or more) to execute, company must continue to maintain/enhance existing application (meet user needs, honor sales committments, meet competition, etc.)
>- At least some of existing staff is moved over to the 'new team', creating a need for one or more VFP developers to step in and maintain existing app (creating the 'moving target' syndrome which occurs on most new development projects)
>
>Not saying ALL scenarios fall into this, though that's the most consistent pattern I've seen - much more so than VFP positions for 'new' development.
