>Look, I am not trying to start a war here. Rather, I am attempting to bring a different perspective. I am a VFP developer primarily - and will be for some time to come. If you or anybody else is writing stand alone applications and are using VFP - thats great. However, in the context of C/S and VB's ability to work with ADO in regards to ActiveX data binding - and the fact that VB is 4 x lighter than VFP - and the fact that you have a compiled EXE - VB is a better C/S front end than VFP. That statement should not be confused with something like VB makes better database apps than VFP. That statement is too broad and in this case - would be incorrect. My points are only limited to the C/S arena.


Hi John!!! Glad to see you made it!

I think there is one thing that has not been mentioned...application development and maintenance. With OOP UI elements in VFP and missing in VB, VFP takes a HUGE lead here.
