>Agreed. There are a few other costs, too (not to lengthen the thread, but it's not just security). There's a portability cost (for viewing in a browser). There's also, unfortunately, a marketing cost -- some folks are turned off by VFP. I can try to educate them all I want, but, in the end, if they will only pay me to do it in VB, even though I think that it's better to do it in VFP, guess what...

Yes, it is frustrating, although I find .Net quite promising, I think the general idea behind it has been thought about, and as a developer, I think it has some good strengths, and I've barely scratched the surfance......or is that a bad thing? :)
