>>I wished we could just buy the new versions, but it's always harder to convince people in the upper management with these upgrades. And budget always comes into problem.:(

Business doesn't see it like that. If you're a salaried employee, you have been budgetted already. If you have VFP 6, it's been budgetted too. If you suddenly want an upgrade - it's not been budgetted and so has to be requested, justified, etc. etc.

I'm sure you can see how one might want to avoid all that? :)
