Hi Gary,

If you're vertical market then the language choice should be what you're likely to learn faster and that sounds like VB to me from what you're saying. If you were embarking into the open market then I would recommend C#.

(don't jump on me that VFP's not dead - I LOVE the Fox and will use it as long as possible, but it is dying). Is C# worth the steeper initial learning curve and will it's very difference stop us getting the two syntax confused?
