>>>Share some details or example? Unless you have 30+ years of experience in advanced VFP programming, I strongly recommend that you don't even start. This will be a huge project, far far bigger than you may realize. Others have written that it's not even possible, and they may very well be right.

Expect months and months of trial and error, and expect a lot of coffee, sleepless nights, sweat and head banging. I don't think it's fair to expect too much free help, especially now that you're warned.

I dot not understand your stance Tore. Would it not be our task as developer first to gather the requirement rather than looking at a picture before any conclusion is drawn?
How do you know if something is impossible by looking at a picture without any explanation of what one is looking for ?
