>>FYI - the machine I'm using to do all this is a reaaaly old HP TC1100 - hahaha - which does have touch screen but it requires the use of a stylus not finger - which kinda sucks - that & I haven't got the driver for it working yet...

>Thank you for your reply and sharing link and your experience. I am really looking forward to find out if VFP 9 will run on it.

Well it's not looking too good for VFP at the moment - I got it installed and it doesn't work - dies right after the splash screen. going to try a few things & see if I can get it going....grrrr - perhaps this is one last nail in the coffin for VFP...
