Jose,
Probably our laws are even crazier...

Thanks for the Info. What kind of system are you using? Network, client server etc. Can the system perform retroactive calculations? Is it tied into a human resources program?
How stable is it?
We are programming in foxpro/vfp since 1990. We are trying to convince a LARGE organisation to dump all it's horrendously expensive salary generating systems (they want to order a new one ) in favour of something written in VFP. I think we can write something for a farction of the price - and much better. However I have to demonstrate that such solutions exist somewhere - so any details available can help me.



Thanks again,



Eylon
