Having only seen the interface once, most of what I know about Delphi is second-hand. But as far as I understand, VFP gives us access to many more tools than Delphi and VFP has a superior development arena. If I'm not mistaken, Delphi isn't as buggy, and is more of a 'true' programming language (i.e. variable declarations and such). Vlad, I try not to be closed-minded. If you have something to share, I'm listening, as well, I'm sure, are others. Matt
