>is there anything visual basic can do that visual foxpro cannot?

A. Create ActiveX (or was it ActiveZ... I'm bad with numbers today) controls
B. Pull big advertising money from Microsoft

I assume you're talking about VB, not VB.Net. If it's the latter, add

C. Create managed code.

Now if the question was in the other direction, I wouldn't be using A, B, C. I'd have to use integers.
