I'll answer it on the user list. I don't think the idea is developed
enough to discuss on biz.

First - vtiger is available for those who don't like the SugarCRM licensing.

Second -  developing your own CRM is an ambitious undertaking.  You need
good reasons to go in that direction.

Third -  I have enough exposure to  Visual FoxPro to quickly rule it out
as  a choice for anything new. The fact that somebody is proposing to
use it might give you the idea that they don't know what they are
talking about at all. BTW - my exposure to it did include things like
access from linux apps using ODBC so I know enough to hate the product.
