Hi, George!

it's not really like that. Take a look at thread #005735 for some discussion about it.

Actually, last year I did some testings about string concatenation in a loop. Yes, VB (either 6 or .Net) sucks on that, and VFP is blazing fast. However, in .Net we don't do string concatenation as we do in VFP. Instead, we use a class called StringBuilder. And according to my tests, that's even faster than VFP doing the job. :)
