The insurance agents don't want their book of business on the cloud or in the corporate systems. Also my application does contact farming far superior to what the providers supply. As far as funeral homes, they could care less about Internet based databases.
So the desktop - local network - infrastructure is working great at this time. I think this niche will be around for a while so I am going to port my applications to Dabo. I keep my ear to the rail. I watch for trends and keep my skills up. But the bottom line is providing quality applications for my customer base is what matters. I can do that. So for now it's all good with VFP9 and the VMP framework and then Dabo. There is room for all of us.
