As it appears that you work for a government agency, perhaps contacting some other government agencies that use VFP would help (they typically like that). I know that DA uses VFP as well as many other Army installations. I wrote a few apps in VFP that are still used all over the states in installations (time labor management is one). You should consider calling the installation information line and getting the NAF IT department # and talking to the IT Manager. It might pay off.

It's amazing to me that after 10 years of surprising these people with what Fox can do, I keep having to fight the same bleedin' battle.
