We somehow should put our experience together and formulate a kind of a road map on how to convert from FP to VFP, both from a technical point of view and from a management point of view. Just a suggestion. > > Marc, > I truelly believe that the best way to move for FP to VFP is to re-write or not to move at all > > Arnon Yes. But that is not enough. The adaptation from one to the other is a painful one and I think that those who got there have a responsability (read self interest) in easing the path for the ones who still have to do this step. Every so often someboddy (and I 've been one case in point) cries out his bewilderment and his incomprehension at why 'they' did it the way they did. A lot of this has to do with what J. Luis calls learning, but there remains a lot of (unnecessary) guesswork. If you do not know that, you cannot plan for it, and if you do not plan for it you'll abandon, which in this environment means a dwindling foxpro community. My 2 BEF, Marc
