Denis:
I find myself in the same situation. Yesterday, and today I've been reviewing the small apps that I had written in Codemine 7, and I was rusty!
I too need to decide whether to use VFP, which would mean Codemine, or .Net. My thought was that if I have to learn a new framework, then I might as well stay with .Net.

thanks
mike

>>I'm sort of worried. The day before yesterday I asked what the status of the Codemine Beta was, and sent a message to SoftClassics. I've not received an answer in either place. Is there still anyone actively using this product, and is it viable?

To start with, the app. was made by somebody else and was'nt built with a framework. So when I'm finished with it I'll probably look again at CodeMine and evaluate what would be the best thing to do.

It's just that VFP to me is still the best tool for what I have to do. To me it's not a matter of evaluating the evolution of the market. So until there's a major reason I'll stick with the fox.
