>>>I used VFP for its producditive. C++ compiler doesn't matter for me. I look for PolarFox. It'll run at web, run with one of SQL servers (I can't remember which one was) directly with seek, VFP select commands, new commands...

>Fair enough. But C++ compilation costs me nothing (apart from a small fee to its author!) and reduces risk of breakage if you use a newer VC++. And right now I'm using the x64 IDE that runs quickly and does away with most of the bugs I had experienced in the VFP IDE on Windows 7. One bad bug was the occasional frozen combo in the Find dialog that required a hard stop, losing work. Another was annoying even if you don't lose work: the phantom breakpoint (no breakpoint exists but debug repeatedly stops there anyway) that wastes time when trying to track issues.

but same time he says you need to change your activeX usages with 64bit ones.
