>b) Although there are issues with I/O speed and an interpreted language as opposed to a compiled language, I still believe that the VFP front end is quite robust. It utilizes inheritance and polymorphism better than any other MS product. If I had the OOP and function libraries of VFP, the raw speed of C and the general flexability (particularly with data exchange/communications) of VB, I really couldn't find room to complain.

Matt, I agree with you. I think Carl J. Warner was right with his Visual FoxBasic... :) We need to add it to the new Wish List. :)
