>As an aside, I would have to disagree with the notion that VFP 5.0 is such a leap from previous versions that it has driven off all the mediocre Fox programmers. With all the backward compatibility, there's nothing to stop someone from writing an app with @ ... SAY/GET to the screen with all the various READS, etc. We have one in production--dBase code recompiled under VFP. Not my idea, but he's the CEO's son...


I stated this as a general case, not an absolte rule. We get lots of people attend our User Group's VFP Beginnner's sessions a couple of times, only to drop out because it was so difficult. I stress OOP as one of the last things to learn about VFP.
