Hiya Craig ----

>>Sorry, didn't mean to get off-topic, but until VFP gets completely away from all resemblence to xBase (and no, it will never happen), the comparison to 15-year-old technology can't help but be made. That's why my original post reminds us that whether it's Visual or not, the battle of FoxPro vs. dBase is still being fought.

I guess we should compare Visual Basic to AppleSoft or Kemeny and Kurtz's work at Dartmouth in 1964 :-)

BTW, I still see and hear of a LOT of FoxBASE/UNIX stuff floating around out there....especially in manufacturing and shipping.
