Craig,

I have at least 5 years of experience converting from FPD to VFP.
So what I got is that usually client wants to preserve all what he already has. And it sounds for user very strange that something that he used to see for years in DOS, we cannot implement in Windows.
In short the way (to resolve the situation like we discussed) depends on the client' personality and his education level.
