I just got the latest issue of Visual Studio Magazine and the editor mentioned they did a recent survey of their readers about their primary programming language. 41% said they used C#, 34% programmed in VB.NET, and 25% responded with "other." He goes on to say that the magazine started with a majority VB slant. Where I work has been FoxPro shop for a very long time and they are now doing all new development in C#.NET. Now in response to the quote above, I think FoxPro programmers and Xbase programmers in general have always had to learn the tricks to get "around some crash or other unexpected result" of the code. I know I didn't feel like getting into Clipper since it seemed about every message I saw was that it was not working so I stuck with Fox. Eventually, I will be moving to 100% C# (unless someone can make me a better offer) and also won't need this list as much. So, as I remember a message about the CompuServe forum, the last one out of ProFox, please turn off the lights... David L.
