Bravo, Jean and Rafael I think you are both correct. There is no need to rush into replacing VFP. And your client should be able to trust your judgment.
For me, I would definitely move from VFP6/7/8 to VFP9. I don't recall having to do anything except recompile and put in the new run-times. And move to VFP7 as soon as possible. Then you're set for 3-5 years. Use that time to review your architecture (SQL databases, 3-tier, etc), and ease on into the future, which may well be NOT NET.
