>Very well. How then do you explain the volumes of books and articles that have been on the market with respect to VB and n-tier development? There is much more work published on doing N-Tier development in other tools than in VFP.
Bigger potential market.

I agree with you here. (Hard to believe, huh *g*). Both products can be used to produce great applications, components, etc. It really comes down to the skills of the developer...not the tool being used.

Again, I agree (wow!!! twice in one post). I've done a number of presentations for Microsoft here in SLC. Most of the attendees were VB developers. Their understanding of this stuff is everybit as good and in some cases, better than VFP people.
