Ahh.. OK, perhaps Walter could shed some light on things C++ can do that VB cannot. On more than one occasion, I have heard the comment from some hard-core C++ guys that have said that a lot of programming that goes on in C++ would be better served in VB. Other than a full OO implementation, and the ability to write stuff like device drivers and such, I can't imagine from a business application standpoint what VC++ could do that either VFP or VB could not do.
