>Do you really think anyone here wants to look at hundreds of lines of code? You alos totally evaded my point of refactoring the vfp code to .net. You can't see how .net would help you, becuase you still think in vfp term or use whatever method you may happen to run across without learning the why's and wherefores of the code.

I don't think this has anything to do with .NET vs VFP. The code should have been refactored in VFP already. I agree with the rest of your observations. I broke them all in the past, thinking that the more complex the code is, the better programmer you are. In fact the best programmers spend lots of time to keep it as simple (and readable) as possible
