I should have added that, ironically, my career is far enough along so that this will be my last gig. I'll retire along with the Fox.

One thing I think is important for people to realize is that wishing that something weren't true doesn't do anything to make it so. Right now the only people hiring VFP talent are companies that either have an app in VFP that is meeting their needs and they don't see any reason to change it, or people like your gig who are moving to something else. There isn't any significant new VFP development happening, and the sooner that people realize that, the better off their careers will be.

I loved working with VFP, and would have been happy to continue doing so. But I saw the beginnings of the downward trend a decade ago, and started my transition then. I haven't opened up VFP in over two years now, and to be honest, I don't miss it. I've found everything I liked about VFP
