>>>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.

You are that frustrated by the dead of VB and ADO that you need to troll a VFP newsgroup ?
