I used it a few years ago and I thought it to be an extremely buggy piece of trash. Thank goodness we have Access instead.

I gave it a shot about a year ago and it is not worth the time or effort to get it going, in my opinion it is a piece of crap. Why would anyone pick a project that has to be done in a buggy software is beyond me.

We (my organization) have developed a lot of programs in VFP. I do not think it "buggy;" however, it is not the easiest to use, mainly cause it is so powerful. Beside, unlike Access, it is a relational database base system. Can do much more with it than Access. I have been to several FoxPro Developer Conference (well, three) and I have seen some really good programs written in it.
