Well, when I saw this topic come up on the schedule I said to myself, "Self, there is no way I'm going to let VFP get shafted like it has at other presentations." I put in a call to my MS contacts and now I'm a presenter.

Plus contrast data handling in native VFP IDE elements as opposed to the new VS thingy (what the heck do that call that common tool alternative to data environments, I didnt install it - drat).

Hmm..I think just a mention is probably better than showing. VB is much better integrated into VM and the new Installer works better with VB projects.

I'm not gonna have the time to show any of that anyway. I need to say "Here's what VFP can do for you that VB can't...or that VFP can do better, and why." That's the topics that will get them interested.
