>I have done a project using VB5 and I have been spoiled by a couple of neat features in VB I would like in VFP (6.5?). Does anyone know why MS could not add similar features for VFP?

>a)VBs debugger is built in to the editor and you can edit one line of code and continue without having to restart the application.

Would be nice.

>b)The Intellisense stuff (where as you type an object or function you get a picklist of methods or parameters allowed) cuts down my development a lot. I rarely have to think about the hundreds of methods or parameters when developing.

According to Robert Green, it is difficult in VFP due to late binding, but it could be done.

>c)I can perform a Find on the whole project source code for a character string. Once it finds what you are looking for it positions you at that line. In VFP there is no equivalent feature and have to resort to the clumsy Windows Find command.

Sounds nice.

>Please don't reply how "VFP is better than VB". I already know that. I just think these features are neat and save a lot of development time.
