Hi Ed,
As you know, I'm a big VBA and VBS and Automation fan. While I can use the entire VB package when I have to (yuck), I gotta agree with the advantages of learning VB simply as the "glue" to hold together Win apps.
Rumor has it that VBA may be added to SQL Server at some point in the not-too-distant future as an alternate and/or primary SP language.
>OK. < Phew >. I feel better now, because I've been forced to admit that VB knowledge pays handsome dividends in the Wintel marketplace, even if you don't write VB for a living. VBA, ASP, the WSH, all have strong VB syntax roots, so even for the most devout VFP fanatics, some VB seems inevitable...
