Right, and this is what I find odd in so many of the replies I've gotten. It's as though people actually believe that their successes depend upon the good graces of other people as opposed to their own hard work! Cripes, I suppose if I actually thought my successes or failures were due to someone else I'd live a fear-filled life too. I do not and I do not. <g>

At least 2-3 years worth of time to learn something new.

>I just did a Satellite Forms app for Palm pilots. Talk about a different world. While it works quite well, the techniques I had to employ are quite rudimentary compared to VFP. The mental key is to always think minimalistically. For some of us, that ain't too difficult which is why I was successful at it. < bg >

Yeah.. We have successfully ported a small portion of our app to the Windows CE platform. Very cool and very Basic. <g>

Best,
