I still cash the royalty checks ;) 40-60% of my business is still in FoxPro, varying by demand. I still answer questions here, mostly with more "legacy knowledge" -- I stopped pushing FoxPro around version 7, and chose not to use 9 for legal reasons. > I will agree with > you that ten years ago your statements above were dead on.

Whil was citing items from the past ten or fifteen years as evidence of the difference in the Fox community from others that Microsoft has tried to foster. I'm well aware that the situation has changed. Other than participation in this forum, I don't do as much with the rest of the Fox community as I used to, for a number of reasons. > To be part of the Fox community now you should have done the testing of how > your apps were going to be altered on Vista. Been there, done that. Vista's had beta bits available for testing for nearly half a decade! Except, of course, that they started over halfway through the process. And didn't ship the UI bits until the very end. What a way to run a "beta." I advised my clients some time ago to purchase WinXP machines Vista came out, so they can avoid the first two years of learning curve. > I'd say that maybe 10% of this > list went and did that.

I'm familiar with a number of projects with _huge_ installed bases that locked down on VFP 5 or 6.
