Is there any other way? :-)

Perhaps.

AFAIC, my skills in VFP have a longer useful life than the next guy's skills in VB6, because he will be required to learn an entirely new programming strategy and syntax by the next release of VS.NET.

Which part is bullshit? MS' decision, or my take on it? Care to expand?

>Seriously, I think a lot of people are going to stay in VB 6. What compelling reason is there to upgrade to VS.NET?

Lack of hope for future enhancements? The knowledge that in the not so distant future, MS will stop support for the product?
