In DOS days, I've seen doctors, engineers and who not put together decent apps for the time. Now under Windows things got more complicated - fonts, event loop - and while Access had a relatively decent way to put things together, in VFP it really was a kind of a struggle to get an app working.

OK. You support your opinion with sample which Nicholas didn't. I had two doctor friends they were used Foxpro Dos, developed applications with it... :)

And I remembered I could't used VFP 3.0 years. I didn't know what is OO. VFP 3.0's Tastrade sample was so complex for me. I remembered even I couldn't figure out where Tastrade begins.
