I have only heard good things about Delphi and believe that it is the only contender to VFP. Not being a big Pascal developer I didn't jump on it out of the gates.

>>Full object model? See De3lphi 5, really great! Use Tables, querys, databases,sessions, stored procedures and more like objets. Really extensible. See this in www.borland.com/delphi and download demo of Delphi 5 Enterprise..

>I do recommend Delphi for VFPers who want an additional tool to their arsenal. Easier to understand because it is full object oriented, really fast because it has a native code compilation engine. That's why MS recruited Delphi's chief engineer because it is a serious contender, if not the top, in the arena of software development. I've seen it and been playing with it. VB irritates me a lot and it's no fun to gamble on this crap product whom MS promotes rather than VFP which has the full capability to compete in OOP world.
