Nothing concrete, but I think they would be a bit overwhelmed and face a steep learning curve. When I started to code in VB, I found I had to do an *UN-Learning* curve since so many of the commands and functions were gone. And something I didn't mention was the limited ability of VB controls (aka classes). Sure, they don't have inheritance, but they are limited also when it comes to properties, events and methods...add in the fact you can't slap in properties and methods at will and you get the picture of what a handicapped application it *really* is. So the point is, a VB programmer trying to code in VFP would either have a lot to learn or code an *elementary* application, period.
