>>I don't care that somebody has different opinions than me... I just can't stand when people take the "My way is better than your's" approach while including phrases like ".NET folks up here don't get it". Not everybody needs change tracking or NULL dates or a local database engine.

>No, you're right. Not everyone needs it. And that is fine, but then please don't tell everyone that every VFP application can be easily written in .NET. And that is what the message is from the .NET side. Again, you're limiting your options by restricting yourself to a limited technology.

I don't recall any blanket statements saying every VFP app can be easily done in .NET. I could be wrong. I believe even Kevin has said that some things are easier in .NET, and some things are more challenging.

I think that most VFP apps can be written in .NET, and can be re-engineered to run well. You don't use .NET the same way you use VFP, so of course things are going to be done differently.

Now take that last paragraph and flip VFP and .NET.
