>Help me I'm getting old and can't remember the guys name but do you remember the guy who did a presentation at DevCon '93, Brian Jones I think. Anyway, he had a Fox 2.0 app maintaining huge amounts of data for logistics. It was ironic and sounded backward for a PC based system to be maintaining all that data that was actually collected by existing mainframe apps, but it made sense for the end result. Likewise, this company has a number of legacy apps around the world that won't go away for a while, we need the data (collected into a data warehouse) and a production SQL Server app needs it as well. Therefore, the data wouse is updated from all the legacy apps, then the centralized production SQL system gets updated from the ware house.

Brian Jones I believe is correct. JFAST was the app. His VFP version is truly one slick application!
