>Ok, this is a strange one, but here it goes...

>A client has requested some failry complicated enhancements to their system, which is completely written in FPD 2.5 DOS.

>One of the screens that they want (a maintenance screen) must display an inventory parent-child relationsip, with a bunch of business rules involved.

>Call me selfish, but I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out with a pliers, than code this screen in FPD 2.5 using integrated browses / screensets, and the limited tools of that era.

>So, the question is, can anyone tell me why I shouldn't write the screen using VFP 6, compile it into an EXE and call it from FPD using a RUN statement? I've tested it on my development machine & it seems to work fine. Of course I'd have to make sure that their machines were running Win95 or >, and were up to the task of VFP.

Hey, a free table is a free table. I messed around with some old 2.6 tables myself and found no problem. Have fun!
