> You'll have to say goodby to visual DEs though, and handle everything through code.
You don't necessarily have to use non-Visual classes for this. We've created Visual Data Environment and Cursor classes (not based on the VFP base cursor, data environment and relation classes) in VFE 98. It wasn't really hard to do and is really worth the effort in the long term because it makes creating and maintaining DE's & Cursors much easier in the long run.
