Bill, Point # 3: as the universe of available VFP talent pool shrinks, businesses that are running FPD/FPW/VFP applications still need coverage, so what happens?
(a) work gets harder to find, but ... (b) the price goes up Back in the early 80's I worked in a hospital that was envied for their "management information systems". Anyway, we paid this contract group a fortune. The original work was done in Mass in "MUMPS" - these guys had a variant called "MEESE". Every 2 years we negotiated their contract and were faced with the argument - do you know what it costs to find a good "MEESE" programmer? I get data from a major firm where "-1230" comes down as "123}". It is compact the last character represents not only a digit but the sign - gotta wonder what COBOL programmers make in NYC. I am sticking with VFP for a while - my clients do not care about the language - just results.
