IMO, if VFP can handle the specs for this project, go ahead and use it. A lot of new stuff is going to come along in 10 years, and I just don't think that now is a good time to change horses. Give it 5 more years and then see what the lay of the land looks like. If you must, for whatever reason, recommend a different dev environment, that is has been decided that VFP cannot be part of the picture, I see these options as the safest bets: IBM's DB2 and SAP.
