>I agree. I've heard claims that VFP can't do everything and that other development environments may be better in some instances. Personally, I've had problems finding any area in the business world where FoxPro doesn't work really well. At any rate, .NET purports (is that the right word <g>) to be THE MS solution for Enterprise Web Services, regardless of how well VFP stacks up.

Well, you might have a hard time writing really good word processor in VFP. <grin>
