Jess,

>>Still the code is not portable yet. The point I was making, is that with your skills you could be a good programmer in any language you want. However you'll not be able to use your investment in code.

>You can with Java, and eventually with any .Net apps because of portability readiness of CLR.

Classes and object maybe, because they stay programmed in the original language and the CLR code is portable. However IMO this is not any different than writing a VFP com object I can use in any other language. AFAIK you can't delevelop a project in VB.NET and open it in C# and go on with development. IOW, you can't move from VB.NET to C# from one to another day. I don't know much about Java, but I think the same applies here too.
