>So, what's the longest-running custom-built application you've seen out in Fox-land? Can anyone top 5,800+ days of daily use of an application? I have an application that went live on 1/1/93 and has been running daily ever since.

I don't know how old either of these apps is, but I've encountered two FoxPro/DOS apps in the wild in the last few years.
One was running at the appliance dealer when we bought a fridge about 7 years ago. They used it for scheduling deliveries.
The other was a point-of-sale app used to ring up purchases in a roadside cafeteria in the middle of Slovakia. I saw it in June, 2008. I went to pay for my lunch and was stunned to see an FP/DOS app. I grabbed a camera and took some pictures.
