I can, but I already have. Will try again:

... the number of USERS that are dependant on VFP applications and services. My apps run on approx 1000 PC's and 10 or so servers, but I have over 45,000 users...

One example: I have written a number of different job sites in VFP. These users subscribe to these sites through RSS or simply visit the job site with their browser. The site owners use a VFP desktop application to maintain the job data. They sync their local VFP data with the website thru VFP SOAP client software and VFP web services. Some owners display data from the VFP webservice in their own custom desktop applications and intranets. Others distribute their data from the job site to schools (dutch: tbv maatschappelijke stages).

So, IOW I have a total of approx 45,000 people who use and depend on my VFP data and code.

Hope this makes sense.
