To Mike and Craig,
thanks for the input. I do wish I could tell my customers that they need to upgrade but we don't sell the hardware. We just sell the Body Shop software and these guys don't like to spend money. I took me two years to get the last of my customers, and the largest, to upgrade from DOS to the windows version of my program becuase it would cause him to buy some hardware. The body shop industry these days has razor thin margins as the insurance companies keep sniping that quarter point of profit every so often. If I told them to upgrade they would say it works fine as it is, why do I have to spend money?
John.


>>that was what I thought but just wanted to make sure. Do you have any Win 95 stations running VFP 7?
