I see. Lots to study, it's the only way to go.

By the way, "Abraços" is not my name... :)
It's just a greeting in Portuguese, but of course, you're not supposed to know that. It was just me playing funny.

Cheers.

Of course that then I started studying VB.NET and its friends and trying to accomplish the same things I did with VFP. This has been a nice trip.

>>>Ideablade is more money (they do have a $1000 off special for March though) but more important to me is productivity. I am looking for the framework that will allow me to get up to speed as fast as possible - which is still a long time given learning VS 2005/7, VB/C#.net, new component libraries, etc. In the end it seems like it is 1-2 year project to be able to turn out apps in a reasonable amount of time.
