Alex,
Your message has given me a good vision of .NET. Now I decide to start with C# and "we'll see what happens". VFP still give me the most of possibilities (due to my knowledge of it instead others) and I like to talk the machines in VFP. For me, this situation is comparable to talk fluently antoher language than english, say french for instance, and I have to live in Bulgary for 3 years. Great adventure!
Thanks you, and thanks the UT I can decide easily where to start to walk.
Enrique
