Other stuff, too. The lack of OOP creates extra effort for standardization.
>>>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.
I have seen the light!! I agree with you 100% on this since you first raised in in another thread weeks ago. But on reflection, I think it'll never really happen because VB people are rarely gonna recommend using VFP as middleware...just look at the kinda garbage you had to put with on the VBPJ board.
