My 2 cents (after I wrote this, I realize this is more like a dissertation than a "quick" thought... sorry). First, grab all those questions Ted mentioned and organize them. You will want to use them - maybe at the end of the interview when they say "do you have any questions for me?" (The

Ted - I must say - your answer is Brilliant! Although it may have seemed obvious to you - it wasn't obvious to me. However, I was feeling a LOT of pressure to give them the kind of response they requested - and now I know WHY - since I was given a nearly impossible task. As you stated, one can

I agree with all of your points, Ted. They want to move to something and they are not forthcoming in the entirety of the why change. Is it to get rid of the other guy who may be a great coder as well as a great PITA? Is there a new directive within all of IT to embrace modern technology? Are

This sounds like a set-up type of question. I would go in with the knowledge that they want to step away from VFP. I wouldn't give them a "with what" before you had the time to learn what it does as well as what the owners want it to do. This position is in academia and they have an attitude
