>I know that 9.0 it not available yet. I will surely upgrade when it is released. I am trying to justify 3200.00 to my boss. I can't imagine 3 new licenses of 9.0 would not be much more than 1800.00 or so. I am the only programmer here and I feel that this is over kill.

Well, *IF* one is meaning to GET VFP8 and then to also GET VFP9 when it's released in October or so, then this may be the cheaper route.

But actually I wonder if the person supplying the price is also solving some other acquisition problems at the same time. IF it is an outside source, then my guess is that they are looking for the fattest commission possible.

good luck
