>>>>Again, thanks for the info - I'm a contractor here so the best I can do is pass forward the information. I think one of the guys would love C#, one of the guys is pushing VB and the others don't care one way or another.

>>>I'd echo the advice about C#. I started in VB since it looked more familiar as I moved from VFP and still maintain and expand some big apps in it, but I think learning C# is a must, if only to be able to take advantage of the books and samples that are now almost exclusively in C#. I have never had a problem with VB but I I could not read and write C# I would have had a big problem. For contractors I think fluency in C# is a must as VB demand decreases steadily relative to C#.

>>>( I might add that for a professional who knows VB learning C# should not take more than a day. It really isn't a big deal to make the switch. )
>>
>>I've got experience in VB and Java - which means I can survive in C#. These guys are coming from a strictly Access point, so either will be new for them. I think people tend to lean towards VB is because it's a little more 'English-y' and therefore a little more comfortable for them. I think they're all lost in stupid periods :-).
