Hey Craig,

That may be true but VFP needs to be more in the family than out. The more developers that can cross pollinate from VB & C++, the better we all are. Besides, you can still use the old tools for the old PCs. Tougher on you but does not hold the product.

I agree that VFP's env is better but knowing two env's is a major pain and again will keep people from VFP. There are some things I like about the other env like editing property values in the grid rather than a special box.
Guess I'm more of a move forward and let the rest catch up type.
