>Several of the members of this forum have described their problems with the differences in the syntax of the two languages. I also have had these problems moving the opposite direction. I don't have time at this moment to prepare a 'cheat sheet' of the syntactical differences, but will try to do so and post it back here right after the holidays.

Well, I certainly believe that the products each have their niche. That is why they are both in Visual Studio. The main thing that I am trying to get at, is education for the company that I work for so that they can include VFP as a potential solution. Right now, they just mention several misconceptions (several which are addressed by the MS documents).

I have never believed that VB and Fox were competitors. VB being COM driven and VFP beind OOP driven are two wildy different beasts with their own pros and cons. This is why I am unsatisfied with many of the available comparisons. They are typically bent to the Author's preferred language, rather than presenting the languages as is.
