Ideally I need to allow users to manipulate files with the icons on a desktop type environment and set up links between files for complicated processing jobs, which will then be represented in a table which will hold information like file type, parameters, priority and reports generated.

I would like to do the project in VFP, but my concern is the speed and reliability of the application and also the techniques on how to reference and link the objects both in code and graphically.

Hi Simon,

You might be interested in taking a look at my Montage application to get an idea of the sort of drag-and-drop interfaces that can be constructed in VFP 6.0.
