Support...

Well when the support was available from Microsoft for VFP it was paid. I

know you can find answers to your questions on this illustrious group and

other collection of like-minded sites faster that you could waiting on hold

for Microsoft.

... I can: Get meaningful support. Outside of this illustrious group and a

small collection of like-minded sites out there, there is virtually nothing

out there of any depth. This is not a slam against VFP. I really wish it was

different, but it has become a niche product that is slowly fading from

relevance because it is not supported. Again, this is not a slam. I respect

the community here and the product itself, but it's exceedingly difficult to

find user communities, and for me, that was enough to push me to a different

language where I could actually get help.

I don't know about weird, but I do know about Customers.

I still maintain programs written over the years some going back to Foxpro

For Dos. If a program works in the first place the only reason to move to a

new program is to make it prettier.. When I read all the posts that Foxpro

Is dead the only thing that comes to my mind is Microsoft's need for greed.

I have yet to run into anything I can't do with VFP and third party tools.
