>Your posts sounded like rebuttal of the OP's reality... but all you're actually saying is that you used dotNET for something VFP could never have done. The OP was looking at stuff that could be done by either tool, which is what will interest people in this forum.

I don't think I was actually trying to say what you suggest I was trying to say :) What I think I was trying to say is as follows. The OP embarked on a private excercise to evaluate C#/.NET - I don't recall him making this announcement on the UT. When he decided after a whole three months that "boy, this stuff is hard", he decided that there was no commercial advantage for him to leave the Fox pack. Fine, no problem with that. However, he then decides to post an a attention grabbing thread post "After 3 months Testing NET, we are staying with VFP". It could have said, "VFP Triumphs over .NET again" or "The .NET folks better watch out, Fox does it again" ...

Whenever I see job posts for virtually any programming discipline, they say, minimum experience 12 month, 24 months, 36 months or maybe 6 months for a "junior" post. The OP makes an all encompassing declaration about VFP over .NET after only three months experience with the latter? He can't be serious, surely?
