Hmmm...I don't know that characterizing VFP as an inferior product would be wise. I've had no great problem delivering reliable data-centric VFP applications, and prefer the OO environment. There are a few things that VB can do that VFP can't, like create ActiveX controls, but for data-centric application deployment, it's not my choice. I'd rather be disemboweled with a rusty spoon...
