I have many friends using FoxPro and VB. They take 5 times longer to
develop an app.
Windows OOPS programming and DOS dbase are two diffrent worlds.
I AM VERY GLAD Vdb is not "compatible" with dbase DOS - if it was it would
be a poor tool
and I would not use it.
This newsgroup is the best support I have found for any of the languages
around.
Perhaps you may not get an answer in 10 minutes, but sometimes I even get
that.
Your attitude when asking a question affects your responses. Personally I
do not generally
take the time to anwser someone how is ranting or uses fowl language.
Others tend to do the same.

I am in the process of migrating 5 apps (50,000+lines) from dbase dos 5 and
Vdb 5.5.
Because I want to use the new OODML and SQL, I am re-writing from the
ground up.
Starting with new databases. I am currently in the stage of creating my own
custom classes.
Once these are completed, I expect to re-write some of the 10,000 line apps
within 10 days.
I am still learing Vdb7. But I am excited about its future.
