>>>I cant find any skilled VFP programmers in my area either. Atleast not one that doesn't want a salary and relocation compensation equal to 1/2 the department's total salaries. It's to the point where corporate has all but told me to forget about hiring a permanent person and just stick to using consultants. ;) I figure that will change once they see a year's worth of consultant fees.

>Fairly small I guess... Taking into account the employees in a company we just bought out, I think our total employee count is now pushing 500 people. Yet our (my) MIS dept. is only at about 20 people. Being that this is a sales oriented company and not technical oriented, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad percentage.
Take heart Rox. I am 1 person serving 150. Needless to say I am very busy. :-)
