Rick,
>>But so what? Those are minor things - that can be handled in a different way.
If we all wrote off respective advantage in that fashion, it would be impossible to compare anything. ;-)
I am telling you that some of the stuff I have to do would be ridiculous in ADO.NET. We tried. I don't "prefer" VFP for its own sake, I use it because it's 25-year-old cursor technology does what I need without optimization trick-shots. It just does the job. Just as Boeing's 25-year-old technology gets me across the Atlantic safely. Nothing wrong with "old reliable". ;-)
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
