Diana,
The client need definately comes first and as long as this is a concious change from "The Windows Standard" and users understand why it fine. This might even be something each user could enable/disable to suit their liking.
I'm curious what type of form you could do better in VFP than in Access.
>I've had maybe 20 large offices as clients in the last 10 years and ALL the data entry people were and are touch typists. They care far more about how smoothly they move across the screen then what happens to the data (until they start printing bogus reports, of course). My interface consciousness, therefore, rests with these people and if they say they want to use the
key, I say, yes'm!
