Hi Michel,

Why does the fact that VB being object based make it less of a RAD Tool? It's interesting, many folks jump on the OO aspect of VFP when comparing to VB. Yet, if you looked at many of the apps those folks write - many of them are'nt really OO anyway.

With tools like FoxExpress, I could employ many RAD Techniques in Fox 2.x.

I could easily make the argument that in some respects, VB supports RAD better, Intellisense, better Windows API Integration, etc.

I think many folks have issues with VB because they do not know how to use the tool. If you attempt to take a VFP mindset to VB ,you will run into problems. The same would be true for VB developers trying to use VFP.
