> Then, this is a good thing. If a programmer cannot learn C++ or if he can learn only one langage, then he choose the wrong profession, IMHO. It's like having a plumber that can only fix one brand of toilet and not the others.

I tend to disagree. I have met several extremely proficient COBOL programmers who worked on the same system for decades and they don't know ANYTHING about Windows. most of these programmers are happy with who they are and I never had problems with them.

Another analogy, most lawyers, doctors, physisist, mathematicians, etc specialize in one field (it does not mean that don't hoot about anything else, just that they are much better in their field of expertise). I know several programming languages because I enjoy the challenge and learning is what I am about. You seem to enjoy learning too but this is not a precondition to be met for enterring the field.

> Again, I did not say that you should use VC++ instead of VFP, but that what you learn with VC++ about Windows architecture can help you better understand how VFP work under the hood and that make you a better VFP programmer IMHO

I agree with you 100% on this point.
