Jet,

>Other than being the work of Microsoft, any other reason why Visual Basic is actually more popular than Visual FoxPro? I mean I don't really understand!
>I program in VFP most of the time, in VB rarely, but I do know (and teach!) the language.

I think that the SELECT SECONDARY command confused too many people.

Seriously, BASIC has always (regardless of source) been a far more popular language. I remember using a version on a HP1 back in the late 70's. BASIC has almost universally been used as a means of teaching programming logic to computer science students and more folks are familiar with it.
Best,
