> Im getting closer to retirment age and Id ruther just ride the wave using VFP than have to learn something new.

Then why don't you? I've got nine years till retirement and I plan to ride the Fox all the way to the end. VFP 6 is coming out this year and work on VFP7 has begun, so I don't see the Fox becoming extinct for another 10 years or more, if at all!!! Who would have ever thought that COBOL would still be hobbling around this late in the computer era?

With it and a little C for the Linux side of my life I'm not planning on learning any other languages. (I used VFP for several years but haven't returned to it since I started running with the Foxes a year and a half ago.)
