>I have this exact situation in one of my shipping room apps; the checker station shows the content of the current carton being packed, the last item scanned by the barcode, the carton type to use, the number of items left to pack, and a large region of the screen where system alerts display - such as 'wrong item scanned', 'unreadable scan code', or 'Filled. Scan next packlist'. The operator rarely uses the keyboard - he has an RF wedge scanner that reads barcodes, and we let them call menu functions by printing up cards with barcodes that correspond to the menu hotkeys - the operator scans the barcode and VFP acts lke the equivalent keys were pressed, since that's how a wedge device works.

Ok, good points indeed, you have a vast experience.
The application you described is something I'm going to need soon, are you selling it?

In Alejandro's case, we are talking about his successful flagship product, a complete FP payroll complying with all Panamanian laws and rules.
He is actually rewriting it for VFP.

I think convincing his clients to go to 800x600 will not be difficult at all.
