Alex,

>>What I think a lot of VFP people would be surprised at is how interested many VB people are to learn more about VFP. There is no "war" from the VB side.
>>Markus and I have been to several VB User Groups where he has given various talks about XML, COM, BizTalk etc. Often he uses Fox as the platform for the demos. There has actually NEVER been anyone who has said anything negative about the fact that he used Fox and not VB, and in fact many times the VB'ers end up asking about VFP, it's capabilities and especially about the command window!
>>I think Nancy's suggestion is a good one, and I think VFP people would be surprised at the reation...

Say.. Sounds like a need for a little evangelistic training.. *gd&rvvf*

Actually, I think this is a great idea! Instead of sitting around feeling all bummed out & sorry for ourselves we should get (ack - I hwte the word but it fits) "proactive".

Wasn't that the earlier question? What should we do??? Looks like an answer has presented itself to me...

BTW - Congratulations!!! Mr. MVP <g>

Way to go...
