>>As somebody who programmed VB for a long time, I can tell you for many types of db-apps - VB was in fact - BETTER than VFP. Why in some cases was it better? Often, there was a good deal of technical justification. But in other situations, it was simply the fact that VFP was not an acceptable platform. Reasonable or unreasonable - that is they way it was - and is.

>Hearsay ... (I'm sure you know by now what that means ... no?)

Just an FYI, hearsay is an out of court statement offerred to prove the matter it asserts. We are not in court. Therefore, it is not hearsay.

So yes, I know what hearsay is. The fact is Gerry, it is you that does not know what it is....

And for the record, if we where in court, because this is all based on my first hand knowledge, exceptions to the hearsay rule apply. That said, I couild provide LOTS of instnaces from Aramark, J and J, and Verizon to name 3 companies (large companies at that...)
