>For what its worth, I'm not knocking VFP as the most powerful relational database tool available. I'm just shocked and pleasantly surprised by what I've seen in the non-VFP world. I have no reason to be biased towards one or the other; if anything, the time I've invested in VFP should bias me to VFP!

Gino,

Is there any remote possibility that the time you invested in VFP made learning VB easier?

Just to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater, remember that in OO development the payoff is not always on one project, but rather on the amount of things you can leverage across projects.

Intersting that you find VB an faster environment to code in, becasue I foudn it just the opposite, I found the number of windows flying around when I wanted to focus on one issue was disconcerting. I found the lack of a command window a major set back.

I would love to see intellisense make it into VFP, however.
