Ok Bonnie - fair enough. BTW C# or VB.NET? Once you get beyond the learning curve though not all languages are equal. Some are just harder to work with. For instance, I find Type Safety to be a PITA, and have rarely had problems with incorrect types in VFP (though maybe I just don't know about them). So far I've been working with C# about a year, and am just now starting to get it. But, when someone asks me for a quick report, VFP is what I use.

How long does it take to get past the learning curve is the question you should ask, but that will vary from person to person. Some will say 2 months, some will say 6 months ... I've even heard people say 1 year!! But, I think that I was up to speed and being productive after about 2 months or so.
