>>>>>I just purchased "Microsoft Windows Architechure for Developers Training" from Microsoft Press. On page 105 is a chart listing Microsoft's development tools and the features of each. Here's what it says regarding VB & VFP:
>>>>>
>>>>>VB: Create Reusable software components (ActiveX Controls), C/S development capabilities
>>>>>VFP: Object-oriented, C/S development capabilties.
>>>>>
>>>>>Further down the page it says:
>>>>>"Because they provide these characteristics, the following Visual Studio components are considered object-oriented programming languages:
>>>>>
>>>>>- Visual C++
>>>>>- Visual FoxPro
>>>>>- Visual J++"
>>>>
>>>>Way to go.
>>>
>>>Now we just need to get those who are paying for development this information so that they may have a little more insight into choosing the proper tool.
