>>Today I saw John Ryan make the comment that one of the purposes of .Net was to fix deficiencies in VB. That is a great example of where some attitudes lie here.
But it was MS itself that quoted deficiencies in VB/ADO as a reason for the replacement.
If it fits better for you to present that as an "attitude" by me... go for it.
As for the rest; we deployed our first dotNET server app in May 2002 - yes, 18 months ago. But we still have VFP stuff as well because we judge VFP superior for those parts. And we do not agree that now is a good time for us to embrace dotNET entirely though we understand others who make that choice.
If you can see a problem with this attitude, do say so, I'm always keen to learn.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
