>Why does everybody get so bent out of shape when VFP is not mentioned? Does it really impact your day to day business? And, if VB gets these nice features, instead of the knee-jerk reaction of 'When will it be in VFP?', why can't people instead say - 'Gee, maybe I should give VB 7 a serious look, and integrate those capabilities with VFP...'

First off all, My allergic reaction has gone, so I'll hope you'll react to this reply in a normal way:

1. People are affraid that VFP is going to be discontiniued in the long run. So every clue that points to this direction is jumped on.

2. Integration of two or trhee different languages brings technical and knowledge problems, especially for a small team and single persons.

3. I don't know why you insist to look at VB 7. Personally I think that the combination of VFP and C++ is a lot more powerfull than VFP and VB. O.K. C++ is more difficult to learn than VB, but thinking outside the MS box might be another choice (Delphi).
