Hey John,

You're totally right, right now we're faced with the development of a giant system for the local airport. They want it done in VB, and we're already seeing how VB is not the right tool for this system, I repeat is NOT the right one since we're already seeing how cumbersome it is the perform meaningless tasks that VFP can handle in about 10% of the needed code to make it work (when it comes to database management).

No wonder VB projects can overextend just to make the basic functionality work. Usually our VFP projects overextend just because our clients want to see more fancy stuff on their systems and they know we can provide them with it and don't mind paying the extra cash.
