I think there are quite a few VFPers that also are experienced and knowledgeable in VB. Just wondering why you are learning VB instead of VB.net? John Peterson is one I know of, however, I also know that he is making a switch to law so I'm not sure how much time he has for crossover training. You also mention bartering for compensation. In that case, I would first check with local user groups in your area and try to locate someone close to you that may have time to do this on a bartering system and is readily available.


>I'm looking for someone that can coach or tutor me, a VFP coder making the move to Visual Basic with an Access front end. Anyone in need of an aspirant or know of an organization that could help?

>Seriously, I've developed and supported applications written in FoxPro for many years now, but am faced with having to support an Access system with LOTS of VB on the back end. The VB application needs fine-tuning, enhancements and refinements. Were it written in VFP, I'd have no problem. But making the transition to VB and understanding how it handles things hasn't been a quick or easy one.

>I have what may seem like pretty basic Basic questions and I need someone I can ask embarassing "how do you" questions. Yes, the UT forum can help, but I'm sort of stuck between being able to run in one language and hardly crawl in another. Not only syntax, but how Access and VB assume the world is before you try to build something in it.

>I've taken both the VB and Access Keystone Learning System Courses and they've helped a lot. But having come from a VFP programming background, some of the questions I have deal more with knowing something can be done in FP, but just not knowing hoe to accomplish the same thing in VB.
