    Life after VB6:

    Living underneath a train bridge in Chicago, bumming cigarettes from the mutilated bodies of "friends" of the Mafia and stealing sandwiches from little kids who just got lost on their way to school. Life was tough, but it was better than working for a sleazy corporation that only worked entirely in .NET technologies. Spawns of Satan, that's what they are! Who needs them? Not me! I live a free life now! Living off nature, or what would be the equivalent of the natural life cycle here in the good old Windy City.

    Oh, hey, a Cheeto! I better chase after it before the other clingers get to it.

    Back to being a street musician, prolly.

    Notice how the mass transit system is going broke right as gas prices soar?
    Typical. Now we''ll have a reason to sing the Windy City Blues

    Could play a harmonica and have a monkey pick lice out of your hair while you do it.

    I am a genius.

    Delphi is apparently the equivalent of VB and is supposed to be good. Not sure how similar the language is though.

    There is no life after VB6. Better to destroy yourself now and save me the trouble.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Penagate - face it you have no choice.

    Learn .Net and forget VB6.

    .Net will continue to grow and be enhanced and also embrace new hardware, software and DB concepts...

    VB6 will start to rust and die - it's a natural progression that you must simply accept.

    Thinking of leaving the MS world (Delphi, FB - all that) has nothing to do with .Net. If you would consider something other than MS than do it...

    If MS is an important part of your resume, life, needs, addiction - then go with .Net

    *** Read the sticky in the DB forum about how to get your question answered quickly!! ***
