>>It's flexibility is great when needed, but it's a pain in the ass when trying to do simple things like multiple data entry screens and the like.


Oh - you mean when trying to deal with data in VB<s>. Thats why VFOX/ADO has been so important to things at MS - as they now have people with a clue on how to access data. Essentially - if you need to deal with data in VB - and in a C/S environment - best to create stupid VB front-ends and put the brains of everything in VFP servers.
