>You mean I will be in the better position long term because my colleagues here wanted me to abandon VFP and transfer to VB. I am working in a software development company and some VBers here, in there is such a term, acts like they are in heaven, feels secured, and I am insecured.

The problem is the difference in the nature of the VB developer community and the VFP community. The Fox user community, while smaller numerically, has histroically relied on itself for support; the VB community, being much larger, and somewhat more competitive, doesn't have as much of its user community on a percentage basis interested in building a strong user community that helps its members.

IOW, don't fault UT for not having a strong VB support area, fault the VB community for not taking advantage of the resource that UT and other sites offer. Don't expect the happy VFP community to learn and support VB because some VB types see how well the UT model of support works but can't motivate the VB community to do the same things!

If I wanted to write VB, I'd learn to love cut-and-paste inheritance...
