>No, but COBOL is a very different language from VB. VFP and VB are very similar. Fox years the Fox community has touted that what makes us different from VB is strong data handling and macro expansion. We'd lose that in the CLR.

I agree with not have VFP in the CLR but, Your assuming that if it were ever ported over that the CLR would not be changed to allow direct data access. Yes I know that’s a whole different topic but its not impossible. Improbable yes.

Of course then that feature would then be available to all the other participants if they wanted to allow for it. :-)

Just trying to think outside the box.
