Rich,
I just logged on and saw this thread and came upon your reply - very funny.
I laughed on and off for about an hour.

>So most VFP Haters probably do so because of one or more of the following reasons:

>1. They probably get paid by the hour and writing apps in VFP doesn't net them as much money.
>2. A lot of software geeks don't workout and the VFP Hacker's Guide is so heavy they can't pick it up.
>3. Remembering all of the Commands and Functions available in VFP is beyond their mental capacity.
>4. They were taught to Subclass objects using: CTRL+C, CTRL+V.
>5. Lots of other languages have Application Wizards that can Analyze Business Methods, Design the Data Structure and Build an Application complete with all business rules simply by clicking on Next, Next, Next, Finish! Why should they have to learn to program.
>6. If they didn't use up all of their budget money on expensive tools like SQL SERVER and ORACLE, they'll have their budget cut the following year.
