>>>>>I'm planning on a "last hurrah" for a 17 year old product that is basically FPW2.6, even though I'm using VFP9. The plan is to make one last major upgrade, bringing the app into the 21st century with a better UI. I've taken a brief look at CodeMine, MereMortals, and ProMatrix. Of the three ProMatrix seems to be the only product with something of a user community, training videos, current updates, and a free version to play around with.

I read Mark as to be using vfp9 and then doing a new GUI -
did not think he wanted to run .spr in vfp9
