Charlie,

>I've heard of people trying to emulate eval() and macro expansion in VB by running VBSCRIPT. The latest version of VBSCRIPT has an eval() and execute function.

And they go away in .NET, at least in the first release. VBScript is replaced with VB7, which lacks the functions. They are promised in a future release of the CLR, meaning that more capabilities will be added later that could impact a VFP CLR compiler.
