John,

>Once again, it is time to think outside the VFP-Box...

This simply more difficult than you can imagine. It requires great skills to develop into a expert on more than one field. You might have them, but the majority of VFP (nor VB for that matter) have them.

There is so much out there to learn, you've got to make priorities. The arguments to look at VB for a package simply are too weak for most VFP developpers do provide any benefit.

Personally, when I think out of the VFP box, I look at C/C++, API, Windows 95,98,NT, 2000 features etc. VB only provides a very little advantage too me. It isn't simply worth the effort.

So your statement might be a good one from a theoretical standpoint, but practical (we all have to make money meanwhile) this isn't always reachable.
