>I can see why they edited your letter. It's bigger than the whole Foxpro Advisor magazine! I agree on most of your points that VB is superior. The question I have (after reading your article), is not "Why I should learn VB" but "Why I should continue using VFP?".

Before asking yourself such questions, here are two of the most important answers:

1. VB is NOT object oriented, while VFP is. That means VFP has inheritance, while VB doesn't have it.
2. VFP is a database language and it is MUCH more powerful than VB when it comes to accessing processing databases.
