I agree that it's not worth thinking of a switch. For me it's really a matter of having more than one tool in the arsenal. I've always been playing with VB since version 3 but only until recent months am taking the time to learn it for real. And doing some work on it too.

>Interesting. I've been using Fox for 10+ years and I'd be reluctant to switch over such small differences. I own VFP and VB 6sp3 and PB 7.01 and I'm trying to find a reason for one over the others.

>>I agree that the VB IDE is easier on us programmers. Although in VFP if you click the "Form Design" button it stops execution and goes back to design. No real difference there.
>>The other thing I have on VFP's behalf is the debugger. For example, I posted a question here yesterday on event tracking. Maybe it's my ignorance but I have not found an easy way to do this as I would in VFP, just check the little box on event tracking.
