Perry,

>You are always talking about the software package that your company has developed. And you are constantly asking how to market it. What plan do you have in place if a prospective customer states that they have no interest in your package because it is developed in VFP?

When that does happen, Denis should be happy to not get the sale!
The person would obviously be using a meaningless yardstick, indicating that they would not have an appreciation for the product in the first place. Such a statement would indicate to me that the person has a swelled head that is empty, suggesting some kind of medical problem.

As regards your other about people thinking VFP is the greatest thing since sliced bread... you indicate that you are a poor reader, seeing in the words what you want to see rather than what is actually written. People who defend VFP from the .NET promoters HERE, in THIS forum, generally say that .NET ain't yet all that its cracked up to be. That you interpret that as 'VFP is the greatest thing since sliced bread' is a sad commentary on your comprehension.
