As a thread hijacker I always try to be courteous! :)
PS: I've committed in my head to try to make a concerted effort to dig deeper into Xojo based on some of the feedback on this thread. But it's a challenge. I have an internal management tool that I wrote years ago to use in my computer repair shop I'd like to try to rebuild this next year on Xojo as my learning method. It's a relatively simple database with a straight-forward UI and well-defined rules. I find I learn better in the trenches using books as references as opposed to following prescribed mini-projects most learning to code books offer. We will see how it goes and how much time I can devote to this, but the encouragement I get from this group makes a big difference! Thank y'all for that!

That is some funny stuff wOOdy!
Myself - I am RIGHT NOW looking at some FoxPro alternatives for this UCLA Job (mentioned in another thread) - and then just sent me an email this morning about looking at FoxPro alternatives. They have a list of them, including Alpha SW, Servoy, FoxInCloud & even the Westwind stuff (although I didn't think Westwind offered a full replacement). Was surprised they did NOT mention XoJo - and I may mention that to them.
I will follow-up here shortly with a new thread about this - as I do NOT Want to HiJack this thread - which Paul already kinda Hijacked (although, not really - since he gave it a fully new Subject line).

Hi Paul,
rather than debate the benefits of everyone’s favorite FoxPro replacement <<
Dude, have you considered Lianja? Then you could use VFP, Phyton, PHP and JS at the same time!
Just teasing... 😊
wOOdy

I’ve already tried python.
There may be some love involved with FoxPro but Python was eliminated from my options because i wanted more of a single provider rather than a bunch of different pieces coming from different providers. I’m sure I’ll trigger a lot of blowback from Python advocates for my comment but I stated originally I wanted to keep this thread on point about Xojo rather than debate the benefits of everyone’s favorite FoxPro replacement.
