[AccessD] Access - FoxPro - SQL2000

I would imagine that there would be a market for FoxPro skills as it's
included in Visual Studio (version 6), along with Visual Basic, InterDev and
C++

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.

At one time FoxBase/FoxPro was the database language of choice so there are
still many legacy applications out there.

Hi List
 
Several time this year I've been asked to extract data a cash register type

software and each ocassion the data is in Foxpro. 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?
 
Comments most welcome
