>>of course. what manager wants a product that works?

What manager wants to make a significant investment in code base for which he or she would have a hard time to find skilled programmers to maintain it? Do all your projects serve the needs of a customer indefinitely?

That's the advantage that VB has over Fox in the long run. There's a larger pool of talent. There's certainity as to the longevity of the product. And in the realm of emerging Internet and SQL standards, VB is ahead of the game.

FoxPro has the OOP advantage, but I am sure that within the next year that VB will have all aspects of OOP. After all, they did not sign on the architect of Borland's Delphi for nothing, just a mere $3 million...
