I suspected that might be the case. Still, it is supposed to be VB-compatible, which will make a tremendous selling point, I think. As someone who thinks "programming is its own reward," I'll take FB's versatility over VB's (and presumably RB's) Rapid-App-Development features any day--I dislike being "shielded" from the guts of my machine. Still, I recognize that not everybody shares that opinion, and a lot of people will specifically _want_ to be shielded from the guts. - Rick
