For my job I have to develop an application that should handle a lot data. Now I have to choose between Fox Pro or Visual Basic. In both cases there wil be an SQL-server database. What wil be the best choise.

Thanks Rombout
 
As usual, "best" is subjective. As far as data goes, I think VFP beats VB hands down for ease-of-use since it's designed to be a data-processing language. It's also typically faster since VB is more of a general-purpose language.

I don't know if that will help or not. :eek:)

I agree with CHPicker. It's very subjective, but my own preference is to use VFP. It's object-oriented and a heck of a lot faster than VB of any sort. VB is object-based, so you don't get true inheritance. That makes development a bit more difficult and time-consuming.
