>I personally can't stand VB's so called "object" model. Also, I am 100x more familiar with VFP than with VB. What it all comes down to is a comparison of pros and cons. VFP gives you lightning fast native database access, but lots of bloat. VB gives you the most intelligent development environment to date. VFP gives a nice (but not great) object model. VB gives you an imaginary one.

>I do see a serious problem with VB in terms of stability and predictability. I am extremely familiar with VFP. I have used it for just about everything it was *intended* to be used for. The problem comes when you try and get it to behave in a specified manner. We've all had our gripes with ther report designer. Grids and other controls that don't behave according to spec, or in an unexpected manner. I have seen VERY little of this in VB. Try to write a database application is more painful in VB, but there is more coding, and less headaches. Thats my impression based on lots of experience and experimentation.

VB just doesn't have own report designer, and VB grid by any means is not match to VFP grid.
