Hi John: Here is a list compiled by a company that monitors internet traffic on various programming languages. It may not be accurate in it's' assessment of use but does give an indication of current program interest. http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm At one time FoxBase/FoxPro was the database language of choice so there are still many legacy applications out there.

Where does Foxpro fit into the database market? Access is generally accepted as the entry level db and SQL 2000 is for the heavy duty db. Is there are market for Foxpro skills, is it worth learning? or is it obsolete?
