I feel your post was not helpful because it did not address the question. If the question was should I use VFP or .Net? Then you would have been very helpful. What you did was immediatly lead the thread away from what the original poster question.

Thanks for the advice, I did read the dictionary.

Help: To give assistance to; aid: To contribute to the furtherance of; promote

In my opinion you are "helping" .Net more than the VFP developer going into a meeting where VFP needs to justified.
