Hey Dave,

Why don't you give the your number one reason?

So you can soak them for more money.

Or won't they buy that?

Take care,
Joe


>I have a client who uses VFP 5 for a LAN based network. They have no interest in any kind of internet or intranet. They do not even require screens that make things as simple as possible for the end user. As long as an application is "operational" on a minimum level they are happy. They do not use any other Visual Studio tools and do not plan on it. The network consists of 20 machines and NT Server 4. They refuse to allow the use of an application framework because in their opinion it will make it harder to find a replacement VFP programmer.
