I am thinking about doing the upgrade from vfp 5 to vfp 6. I am fairly sure this will happen but how soon depends on what we (or more specifically our clients) gain. I have two primary questions:

1. I have an application that makes heavy use of grids and in particular the dynamic properties of grids checking the contents of a specific cell to change it's background color, foreground color, bold on or off, etc.
Is any of this faster in VFP 6 or more flexible?

2. The biggest complaint that I have about working with VFP 6 is that it is a pain to get to the actual code behind your form/class/whatever. In Delphi, for example, when you create a form you get a nice little file with all of the methods contained in it and when you want to change something rather than opening up the form and double clicking on the control in question and then finding the right event, you just look in this file and change what you need to. You can see the code you have defined for all methods at once and it is really nice. Is there any way to accomplish the same thing in VFP and still allow you to visually modify the layout of your form? I don't think this has been implemented in VFP 6 still, but are there any 3rd party products or any other way to do this?

Thanks for you help,
