>I am an xBase maniac but with VFP it’s a different world of programming. I have to throw away lots of old habits and only to know that the only thing left is a little more than commands and functions on Data manipulation. Your replies lightens up my frustrations in VFP. In VB, it seems OOP is not a big problem to them. But the sad thing is that the Delivery of the finished product, they hardly deliver it on time. Haayyy…..<
It can be a tough mountain to climb but it is worth the effort. VFP offers so much more than data manipulation through it's better OOP implementation. Inheritance and reuse will save you thousands of hours of coding alone. VB is object-based, not true OOP, and lacks inheritance. Meaning you'll write the same lines over, and over, and over. Or do a bunch of cut-and-paste. Not being a VB expert, this seems to me to greatly increase the opportunity for replicating bugs, as well as being inefficient.
Hang in there!
