>But if I recall correctly, you said that you were doing a lot of cutting and pasting, and I think you compared it to other languages where you didn't have to.... what are you cutting and pasting in this case, and how would you accomplish it in other languages (if you stick to VFP or Java I can talk the talk).

You do less cut and paste in a tool that supports subclassing and inheritance. In this case VB sucks, but hoping for the next version though.
