>Hmmm... I see what you want. That would be alot of work. All of the forms would have to be converted, all the data handling code converted to ADO.Net... then there is the issue that VFP is not strongly typed, that would be a heck of a hill to climb. You would be forced to declare all your variables, that's for sure.

not just declare the variables, but also declare their types, and stick to it, meaning, you can't change the type of a variable like we can in VFP. Same goes for method parameters and return. LOTS of lines of code would have to be rewritten...
