>>Regarding your points about VFP and OOP, I have a hard time believing that VFP supports Inheritance when COM itself only supports limited inheritance; that is, Interface inheritance, and not Implementation inheritance. And re-use is facilitated by Containment and Aggregation. As VB evolves, it seems to me, that more and more of the COM model is exposed in this product, and it is therefore a good choice for HRD. But I am not yet an expert in this area...so I'll copy this note to some of our experts and get their view too.

Could you provide a thread number? The statement "VFP does not support implementation inheritance" is wrong. VFP _does_ support implementation inheritance, and in VFP7 will support interface inheritance as well...
