In the process of making some modifications to one of our applications for ease of use in a POS (point of service). Originally was looking at laptops, PDA's, Pocket PC to accomplish this. However, after getting a Tablet PC, the emphasis is changing to the Tablet very fast. Have made some modifications to enhance our app for being on a Tablet. Not having a clue on where or how to accomplish this, I am asking for some advice.

1. Our users are somewhat anti computer people and we are finding the act of popping up the Tablet Input Panel as frustrating for them. I am quite sure there must be a way to bring this up with an API call or something from within VFP. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2. How do I find out if the tablet screen is in portrait or landscape mode? Need to know so that forms can be positioned properly. Once again any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
