>>I was at PC Expo in NY today. There was a Visual Studio booth, but no separate tools booths. The VS booth demoed only VB6, Visual Interdev, and VJ++. VFP had no representation in the VS booth, which ticked me off until I saw a full presentation of the other tools. The revised Visual Database Tools and new DataEnvironment Designer Tool, along with VB6 Webclasses for creating COM objects on the server that can fully utilize ADO and MTS, with HTML or DHTML on the client, were very cool. For this type of application, VB and Interdev seem ideal. I haven't seen VFP6 yet, so I don't know how it stacks up.

I wasn't suggesting that, I was merely stating a fact that VFP had no representation at an event geared toward corporations. SQL Server was also shown in the use of the Visual Database Tools, Data Environment Tool and ADO. Of the five languages, VC++ and VFP were the two left out. Most of the VS components (Visual Modeler, the Repository, etc.) were part of the presentations.
