Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions and comments - as always Profox produces the goods. I am virtually retired now but occasionally get asked to produce a small application for small business or a charity and am looking for an alternative to VFP for the reasons I mentioned. I am also looking for something which will help me into the world of web programming and keep my brain active <g>. As far as I can see there is nothing in the Professional version so I'm going for the Standard Edition Upgrade based on the Express version (seems very strange logic but I'm not arguing). I'll investigate C# next. I've downloaded the Home and Learn e-book on VB.Net and found it excellent for the initial nuts and bolts and basic syntax. I've not had to learn a new language since moving from FPW2.6 to VFP3 many years ago, although some of the VFP upgrades felt like it at times <g>, so it's an interesting experience.
