>I am not saying that VFP is the end-all be-all for OO stuff. Some people insist that because it doesn't have operator overloading or multiple inheritance that it is weaker.

Multiple inheritance was a mistake put into C++, IMHO (the OOP equivalent of spaghetti code). Operator overloading is kind of nice, though.

I could see how both can be viewed as important, I just don't see them as being essential.

And it does what it needs to do, all in OOP fashion. I was amazed when VFP3 came out, and I looked at it and said, "wow, they actually did it right".
