Hi James,

it depend on your budget.
May be it will be good idea someone, which is not member of the team to review the application, but you should provide him good tech documentation.
Whithout it he will not know is this correct behaviour of the applicagtion.

We were hired 6 months ago for the same job from London based company. On-site programmers made new version of their software and simultaneously support their old VFP2.5 version.

May be lack of experience in Visual FP development put the application in same status. My wife review it and one of my coders for 60hr fix all problem parts or change their data access, which made colusions.

they moved to new version succesfully :-).
