>Woodie, this may shock a few people, but I'm a bit skeptical. I didn't place much stock in Michael Hogan's statement - and to be honest, I don't place much stock in the last part of your statement. The tools, in this case, have little to do with how error-free it's going to be.

Kevin, I disagree to an extent. Almost by definition a strongly typed language is less apt to be error prone that a weakly typed language. Additionally a more robust debugger (imo) and integrated unit and object testing can make debugging more quicker and more effective. Bear in my that these are my personal experiences but given vfp and a DotNet apps of the same size and complexity I find that my DotNet apps are much more likely to have fewer bugs.
