To date, we've been programming in both VB and VFP. However, because we had recently decided on MS SQL Server, they want everybody to program in VB (one language). I know nothing about VB, therefore, could not come up with anykind of an arguement not to abandon VFP - except for VFP can do anything VB can and better.

I am so comfortable programming in VFP and feel I can do just about anything with it. Just hate the thougt of learning another program just to do the same things that I could do in VFP.

The group had decided on the following:
1. Abandon DBFs/DBCs and use MS SQL Server
2. n-Tier (COM)
3. Visual Basic

The final decision is mine, however, without a solid arguments, I could not burden the group with my bias and lack of knowledge for other programs nor was I willing to break the enthusiasm of the group - we have big projects ahead.

Need your help on how to convince and/or argue keeping VFP and/or a middle ground where VB and VFP can both co-exist and be beneficial.

Thanks,
