But VFP6 made it possible to continue on with the same old UI while focusing on the biz object. I'm pretty sure I can spiff up the UI while retaining most of the BLL and that's what I'm aiming to do.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
