Hi!

You missed the important difference - In VFP strong typing works only for the parameters and function results for a OLEPUBLIC objects. Regular variables will require to be declared that way, however, there are no type-checking in run-time, that means you still can assign numeric value to a character-declared variable. In VB types are well-controlled.

>This is a VERY welcome addition in my book. When I use VB I ALWAYS use option explicit to force every variable to be declared and have missed it on my VFP projects.
