John, it sure sounds like you have ProMatrix down and understand its capabilities quite well. I must apologize for my ignorance and my ability to be offensive to some.
If you were writing an application from scratch, and you had your FoxPro DOS version beside you, with all of your tables defined (as of the time in which it was all built in FoxPro 2.6 using Genifer) and all of the previous system documented with color layouts, would you use ProMatrix? I would expect that because you have been using VPM for so long that you would say, "Of course", but tell me why you would use VPM, if you would, please.
I think what I don't want is a bunch of sales talk. I just want facts and I don't have time to sort through all the frameworks.
By the way, I retired from the Navy Reserve last year and served as a Supply Corps officer, as well as a Marine Sergeant in Aviation Supply all the way back to 1972.
Thank you for your time,
Cecil
