How exactly do you mean? DOT.NET uses, well, ADO+ (a.k.a. ADO.NET) of course. So, without a native data engine, it doesn't compare to Fox's data engine. But, I like ADO.NET's dataset and tableset model. Even if the data backend isn't object oriented, access is. Now, if only I could keep straight how to do it!

I guess. I actually really like Fox's UI capabilities. For an all-in-one package, I think it kicks as...oh, this is the UT *eg*.
