Thanks! I looked at doing the application in dot net and I just couldn't see where I could deal with the data and the munging of the data as easily as in VFP. I don't think you have to write programs in the latest and greatest, just because "everybody's doing it." It has really helped they officers and the cost to the taxpayers has been almost nothing - especially if you factor my salary in!<s>

>1) A great tool for law enforcement. Congratulations.
>2) An application that makes brilliant use of VFP's ability to integrate all kinds of remote data while using cursors to munge data and local tables to save bandwidth. An excellent product to showcase VFP's capabilities. All of that with great speed and low cost! Congratulations again.
>3) A heck of a business case. Congratulations and thanks.
