Well, Bob, that's what I am trying to determine :-)

When I stated "straight port" I meant functional port. What I am looking for is compromise guidelines that have worked for people between "damn the torpedoes" and move the thing unchanged to VFP or complete re-engineer from use cases or user stories. I won't do the first and I may not have time to do the latter.

>What is the reason to move to VFP if the ap will not be modified to an OOP design and also one that seperates the UI, Business, and Data rules logically to simplify maintenance and future upgradability?
