>>I would argue that for readibility using SELECT CASE would be more appropriate whenever you hit about four deep in the IF...THEN...ELSEIF.<<

I'd agree except that you can't use Select Case with multiple Case expressions as you can with the VFP Case statement.

>> VB, being much stronger typed as offers at least one mathematical operator (integer division. ie. 5 \ 2 returns 2 which would be equivalent to INT(5 / 2), which is also available in VB.) <<

Sure, you can use Int(5 / 2) just as you do in VFP even though I guess a purist might insist that the Int() is not required in typed integer math.

>> Other differences in syntax, Instr() as opposed to AT(), Mid() as opposed to SUBSTR().<<

But these are small and can be handled fairly easily...

>>Then you have the ability to create a structure, which has no equivalent. The AddressOf function for callbacks.<<

For a VFP person looking for equivalence in VB, though, the presence of such commands in VB is not part of the equation.

I agree with you, the syntax is so similar.
