Thank's to VFP flexibility / RAD we completed everything on time. Bear in mind that during of whole period of painstaking conversion, application did not stop functioning EVER.

I still don't understand the stigma on the UT that if you develop in .NET, you will miss deadlines and be over budget. That is nonsense and I beleive it's a passive aggressive comment by VFP developers (I don't see comments like that on any other board). I deliver quality products on time every day/week/month.
