>>VB would require a major rewrite to give it the same inheritance you have in VFP. It just ain't gonna happen...and VB 8 will exist...as will 9, 10, etc.

I don't think so. It will require a total rewrite of VB. The problem, from what I've been told by people that know (ie development people at MS), is that the VB kernal doesn't allow it. VFP did not require a total rewrite. The OOP stuff was gratfed into the FPW code.
