>Great news! Out of curiosity, what was the reason for the delay? I've been doing some research learning more about why some VFP developers wait so long until they are upgrading to VFP 7.0 or have not done so yet.

Hi Ken,

Our reason for delay is 'disruption' to our installed client base. Whenever we upgrade VFP versions, even SPs, our clients have to run an install to update the Run-Time library on their workstations. We generally hold off on a VFP upgrade until we've made a significant application change so that they accept the workstation install as a part of the 'major' upgrade.

We are using VFP7 now in an isolated application and plan to migrate over the summer.

HTH,
Bill Armbrecht
VFP MCP
