I suggest that you put together a lesson that explains how meaningless this number is. Th client is probably accustomed to procedural projects written in langages like COBOL where lines of code can get you a (very) rough estimate of the work put into and the functionality of a project. With an OO tool like VFP, lines of code mean absolutely nothing. You can give him an estimate through methods like Mark or Ed suggested, but the client should know the worth of the figure.
