I think the first language to provide that service would grab most of the developers looking at another or newer language to pick up! You'd think MSFT would want to do provide a tool to do that in order to ensure that all VFP developers stayed with MSFT and merged with the .NET developers! I went to a web site around a year ago and downloaded examples of the same functions written in VFP and then again in Delphi. Did that ever speed up the learning curve! I wish I could remember where I found that information now! I'd love to have it available to look at now and then.

Still, if there are things that can get into a new version that are relatively easy to do and don't district from the bigger goal, I say do it since there are people that will need to stay in VFP for a while. Why not make it easy for them too? When it comes time for them to make the change, it will be a lot easier if they can do it at their own pace as opposed to being forced into the change...Again, my 747 hypo applies..
