Hi JohnK,

You are focussed on the "can be hidden...". I read "It packages data, and the methods that act on that data..." and I see that as very different (potentially) than VFP.

Craig says that Ballmer included UI OOP, so I guess that my "observation/conjecture" is incorrect (on the other hand, Craig did say that VB would never have OOP < s >).

Cheers,

Jim N
