>I am wondering that with the release of VFP 5.0 any 'real' VFP programmer will have a need to use VB for ANYTHING? VB used is a great coding platform & has good connection to APIs, etc. But with the release of VFP 5 does VFP have at least that much power if not more?

I have the feeling this is gonna be a long thread. :)

I was satisfied enough with Visual FoxPro 3 and now, from what I've heard about Visual FoxPro 5 from all you guys, I'm happier and strongly believe Visual FoxPro will turn to be THE professional development environment more and more people are gonna use.

There was a point VB developers were saying when comparing VB and Visual FoxPro about the fact that Visual FoxPro was not a true Windows environment because of this FLL. Now, that we have a real DLL, what are they gonna say! Yeah.
