Bernie, I have a bunch of VB experience, and would like to work with you on this. There is a partial comparison of VB and Rev in a sample database stack that I built for RunRev. You can find it at:
http://www.runrev.com/revolution/info/compare/index.html It's the "Revolution vs. VB" comparison. I know what you mean about assignment, and there are definitely some things from VB that I would *love* to have in Rev (IntelliSense and direct access to system DLLs as a couple), but there is so much that you can do with Rev, and the cross-platform deployment benefits are awesome.
