>Gee, might not this have the same effect on the total number of VB programmers like it did when VFP was first introduced? I remember DevCon '95 when VFP was introduced.

Oh, yeah, it was "this ain't your father's dBase".

The shift for VBer isn't as great as the shift for Fox people. Also, we have to remember that Fox went from a desktop application that everyone used to a developer's tool. Yeah, some people will get left behind, but the percentage will be small compared to what happened with Fox.
