Sounds as if we aren't comparing apples to apples. The report builder can't print reports for users across the web. From what people have said here, you just can't take a VFP form and pop it onto a web page for the world to use. Sounds as if you are speaking of VFP creation of EXE's, not web applications.

Maybe I assumed too much also. I assume a person is using Visual Interdev (oh ... so now I say it) as a project manager. Form building with FrontPage is snap. Validation with Javascript is a pain (probably because I don't know it that well).

I can say one thing. Writing code in VB is a lot more time consuming then in VFP. 20 lines in VFP = 5 lines in VB.

>This is in comparison to VFP and VB. See my response to Arne. Compare building a system with 10 screens and 15 reports with ASP vs VFP with comparible functionality. ASP will take you much longer. Take VFP remove the ability to create a good error handler, remove the debugger, the project manager, the ability to compile, the form builder, the report builder...
