To reiterate...

The underlying point is that VFP has always been behind the curve, at least as far as VS and Windows Programming is concerned. In other aspects, VFP has been ahead of the curve.

Unfortunately, where VFP has been ahead of the curve has a lower perceived value in the world at large. Specifically, being a tool that is better geared toward windows app development has a higher value than having a better OO implementation.

I hope this clears things up..

>>That while the other products had IntelliSense 3 or 4 years ago, VFP is getting it now. That is more of a statement of fact than point. The underlying point is that VFP has always been behind the curve. For example - and now I am back to statements of fact to support the point, VB gained the ability to create COM components in versin 4. Fox did not get this ability until 18 months or so had lapsed. VB COM Components always played nice with MTS. Fox did not start to come close to this until SP 3 of the latest version.
