Bob,
How are things? -- I see you are getting into the .NET stuff! I am just about to make the jump myself, but I first have to upgrade my hardware. I will probably lean towards the C# language since it seems closer to C++/Java then VB.net, although I really haven't decided anything yet.
I am still happily using the VFP/WebConnection combo and I figure it will take me about a year of "putzing" before I will want to tackle anything major in .NET. But there is no time like the present to get started, and by that time .NET SP1 (or 2) will have been released.
