>i tend to agree with Ed R. i've worked with both vb and vfp for serveral years and vfp, at least i feel, not only is it OO for the most part, but also overall the better product. however, i like the vb objects more.

Well, to be accurate for just a moment, I didn't ask either whether anyone thought I would like VB or even whether the non-OO aspects should preclude my wanting to learn a little about it. Rather, I *do* want to learn about it, for better or worse.

In addition to some of the interesting discussion in the "JVP Challenge" thread, I have frequent needs to create components that behave well with other technologies, such as Active Directory. My understanding is that VB plays much better in this arena, and I find that alone to be a sufficient reason to learn more.
