I have an old FPD2.6 system, using old tables.

I'm piecemeal replacing the old system with a new VFP system, replacing functionality as and when it's needed. e.g. the users have created and/or amended data with the old system, and is using my new functionality to make any new-style changes, and report on the data.

When they enter my new app they get the message like "Do you want to replace the old resource file with a new (VFP)?", to which I've instructed them to say "no".

However, there's always the chance, when, say, typing ahead, that they'll say "yes". So 2 questions:

1. Is it that important if they say "yes"? I imagine that, when they subsequently go into the DOS system they'll get like an "alien resource file" message.

2. Their use of the new system doesn't seem to be impaired by saying "no" so is there a mechanism to get round this question dialog, i.e not have the system asking if they want to replace?

I don't want to set reso off if I can help it.
