>>Also, VB would require a major rewrite to give it the same inheritance you have in VFP. It just ain't gonna happen...

I am not sure I would be quick to jump to this conclusion. Inheritance is the #1 most requested feature of the product..... There is not too much else you can do to VB, other than to enahance the way it builds web apps and better OO capabilities...

i.e., I would not rule anything out...

It does make for an interesting topic - "What if VB got inheritance?????"
