Bill,

>>>I have worked with VB and Fox/VFP programmers as well as using the products myself. There is a very different attitude expressed by the VB community compared to the VFP community towards individuals and groups. In general it seems like we are talking about different personalities. I have not experienced the sharing between VB developers that exists with VFP. Now can someone answer why? It might just be circumstance or could it be “characteristics and limitations of the language”? :)

Speaking of Marc, where is he these days? Also, anyone know the whereabouts of Alan Schwartz?
Best,
