Al, Look ar RealBasic... you'll be surprosed and it has a built in SQL Database SQLite.
Cross platform Windows, Linux and OSX and now web (in bete but works). Only things are: 1. Remove your hates towards Basic... RB is full OOPS and very similar to VFP. 2. "Grids" as we know and love them aren't native and you need to buy an addon, either that or roll your ownas a subclassed listbox which isn't too hard. I've done a couple of cross platform jobs now and was very impressed and the user group is good as well with lots of open source addons and coding tips. Oh and you can download it to evaluate as well ... also not expensive for the Personal or Pro version. AND the big plus is that it is being developed constantly.

I have started work in C# but one of my biggest moans is I hate SQL. If a DBF like thing, as in free to use and not requiring an SQL expert to follow you around, was about I would go the whole way and forget VFP. But there is nothing that costs less than VS2010. Allen -----Original Message----- The best way to build .NET applications is to build them in .NET from scratch. Anything else is just improvisation. Same rationale applies to conversion from FPD to VFP and I'm pretty sure you guys agree with me here. Although FPD apps run under VFP, all you get is FPD performance and features. If you want the best of VFP, build it in VFP.
