This is probably the #1 reason to upgrade NOW, rather than as a future plan. If the client is using a working VFP5 app, with absolutely no development, then you can understand why they don't want to invest in an upgrade - they system works. If they want to develop even a single program to distribute to those 20 desktops, it is worth the price of the 5->6 upgrade in distribution headaches alone. (learned through personal experience)
