>I am looking for an alternative to VFP for more direct control of the PCs (ie registry, monitoring, etc) and am not sure whether to go for VB or VC++. I have written some apps (some years ago) in C but know little about VB. I have both packages. Would VB be more geared to what I want but also hang to the database programming side? Which would harbor most support? Which would be quickest to learn (I am self-taught everything)? Any comments?


Specifically what do you need to do that you can't do in VFP?
