Hey Dave - thanks again for your input. I agree with your 1 horse
comment - and hope that I CAN get this New project - and CAN use this as
the perfect opportunity to get a new tool under my belt!
L8r,

Full agreement here on RealBasic, both it's pro's and also its cons.
I just treat it as another tool in the developers arsenal and at multi platform it is
certainly the best "one click multi compile" solution I have found.
I think all the comments regarding VFP and it's future bring into perspective the fact
that being a "one horse" developer doesn't really hold credence any more now
that there are so many platforms to develop on, hence diversity is king..... use the best
tool for the job.
I know lots of people, myself included, have lots of times spouted how "VFP can do
anything". Yes it can, but sometimes it is a pain and in those circumstances it is only the
persistence and ingenuity of the developer that make the product "do it". Far better to
get the job done quickly and efficiently, regardless of the product used and move on to the next
money paying project in my opinion.
Yes, I could probably have done all the projects in my past using simply Access
and VB but ..
(a) Would I want to ... NO
(b) Would I have even finished the first one yet... maybe not
(c) Would I have enjoyed the experience.... definitely NOT!
Life is to short to be stubborn and short sighted!
