>Some of the programmers (language not disclosed - to protect the guilty) working for the same customer I do are trying to sell the idea that "we are setting ourselves up for trouble" by using VFP 5.0 to develop C/S applications. "VFP doesn't support true C/S","We'll have constant crashes", "A nuclear winter is sure to follow","El Nino is nothing compared to the trouble" ect. ect.
>I have done numerous similar applications in 2.0 ,2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 all successfully. This is my first in 5.0.What I need are a few examples of successful applications in 5.0 (At lease 10 "clients" 50 -100 entries per day). TIA
There are some good examples on ms's web site.
www.microsoft.com/vfoxproYou can also look at advisor.com and find some good material.
My company currently has 600+ clients that use several fp2.x windows apps. We have so far converted 5 to our new VFP 5.0 application with no apparent c/s problems with plans to convert 80 more in the next few months.
Each site could have upwards of 20+ users processing thousands of transactions a day. There are automated processes that do hundreds of thousands of transactions/processes in non-peak hours.
