Kurt, I donot agree with you on this. When I say 'a modern Win10 appilication' I just mean an application built with VFP9SP2 with some modern UI - like FoxyRibbon, FoxyPreviewer etc. This is for the endusers already an immazing improvement when you have worked with a FoX2.2 built application. Sure if you can manage to learn quickly, and realy it is not so difficult, to manage FoxInTheCLoud you can also built a more modern app which runs on your Smartphone. But tht should be step 2. Think about it, Koen

Hey Koen - I TOTALLY Appreciate the input. Problem is - I can't convert a VFP app to a Modern Win10 app - since, I don't have any experience w/tech that would allow me to do exactly that. Sure - I know FoxInCloud has a kind of conversion utility to do something like that, but, alas - I don't have any experience with that either!
Since we're on the topic...
I have a buddy of mine who has been DEMANDING that I get onto the SalesForce bandwagon. Seems there is a HUGE Demand out there it. And, supposedly - its Stupid easy to learn. Am curious if any folks here work with it!?!?
Of course, might be best NOT to bury that Q in this thread - and post it as a New thread. Hmmm...

Kurt My advise: throw a website together in which you advertise your skills. Donot prompte Foxpro but do promote you can convert old fashioned DOS
apps
(VFP 2.2, Clipper and the like ) to a Win10 app. Lots lots of these old programs still running around seeking for a modern upgrade Koen

Yeah - I know - these days - that's a pretty crazy request.
I know some of you have followed me a bit - and know I lost my job in Nov 2017 - where I was working down on Wall Street. Then, moved to Cali to look for a job - could NOT find work in San Francisco. Even applied to UCLA for a programming job - did 2 rounds of interviews - and the people there saying they were impressed with me - during both interviews. Only to NOT get the job. Then, finally, getting a "job" down here in San Diego. Actually getting to do 3D Design work for clients, as well as running 3D Printing jobs. But, sadly - its SUCKING! Its not a regular job - not salaried - not even part time pay. Its contractor pay
- per job - and it does NOT pay well enough. Been here for over 9 weeks
now - and its again put me in a BAD financial situation...
So - as a total "shot in the dark" - I figured I would post here again and see if there is any possible remote FoxPro work.
And, I know - almost no companies these days are still working w/VFP. And, sure, I know it would be better to work in some other newer more modern tech. - but, I don't have any of those tools in my tool belt. So
- all I really have is VFP & MS SQL.
Anyway - just figured I would take a stab and post here...
Regards -Kurt
