Hi Ramil,
Actually, the comment was driven because the post concerned converting VB code to VFP and I wanted to explain the need of having to use a function call and not the simple IF statement used in VB.

As for the "THE better product", I think VFP is better than VB at many things. However, there are times when I'll jump over to VB and write a simple COM wrapper and use it in VFP because VB is better at the task I'm trying to do. Accessing the WinAPI is one example. VB has structures and VFP does not. When you deal with some structures that have other structures as elements, it can get very difficult to keep track in VFP.

Regards.
