>>>You know I understand this. The thing that bothers me is the way the syntax is constructed. Using the command button example, if the purpose of the button is to close the form, you'd stick: Me.Close(). Here the "Me" reference is to the form, not the button. I'd much prefer Fox's syntax when referencing the form. VB.NET's, to me, is unclear.

>>Somehow the Me. Reference from VB and Access reminds me of a self-centered child! It is not a professional term – Me. Me want this, me want that. Why not use a different syntax in .NET? Me no want, cried VB.NET!

>>Let us recall the last version of VB (6.0) was Object Based and not Object Oriented. In VFP we use This to reference the object and Thisform to reference the form. So in VB.NET why not use Me for the object (not the form) and MeME for the form? I am just trying to be Object Oriented! :)
