VFP End of Life

[psparrow]

I knew this day was coming but I thought I had more time. Now that MS has announced the end of all VFP support as of 1/13/15, I need to get my butt in gear. I have several applications that contain Hipaa protected patient data and have been told that my systems will no longer be compliant. I thought that as long as VFP continued to work, I was golden for at least a few more years. Anyone else in the same boat?

Anyway, I have been searching for an alternative to VFP and one possible solution is Filemaker. Anyone have any insight or experience moving apps from VFP9 to Filemaker? I downloaded the demo and have been trying to evaluate it. At face value, it seems like a useful tool but still have a ways to go to determine suitability.

TIA for any direction you can give.

There is a fairly new product called 'Lianja' that works with VFP code (as well as PHP, Recital, Python and JavaScript).
It also has the ability to create app for desktop, web, tablets and phones.

One thing about this software is that it is community driven, meaning, the community tests the program and can suggest changes or additions to be made.

You may want to take a look at this product as well.
