Everyone:

WOW!!! Is VB that inferior a product (compared to VFP)? From what you all are telling me, I see no reason to use VB. Why then, all the hoopla regarding VB? Don't answer that (don't want to start another thread) ;o).

I've received lots of concrete answers here, but more over, a great sense of concern (professional) and the feeling of belonging to a special group alone makes it worth trying to convince my group to use VFP. I'll be showing them your comments and the support available from the VFP community.

Feeling really good about VFP again … thank you all.
