Hi, everyone!

I am not sure exactly where this thread fits better than here so please pardon me if it's in the wrong place.

I wish to get everyone's opinion here why VB seems to be a more popular programming
language than VFP and get a rough survey of how many still prefer VFP over VB and in what
particular type of application, if any? I am a serious fan of VFP but know a little of VB so that I cannot
comment much. Although VFP may have limitations, too, depending on what one is trying to do,
I believe that VFP can still serve my company's needs very well. I particularly want to know if there's
any reason to feel insecure about its existence in the near future. (Need to tell my boss about this.)

Also, can anyone please comment on the lines said below? I find a few things here that are not quite
right here but I want to hear what others have to say:
"However, I realized that Visual Basic runs more stable and more reliable that Visual FoxPro 6.0
when using ADO(ActiveX Data Objects) controls to automate Office97 and Microsoft Outlook.
This is one other reason that explain the fact that Visual Basic is more widely used than
Visual FoxPro in the Information Technology(IT) industry."

TIA
