>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?
