>I work for SunTrust bank and support a medium sized VFP 6.0 app. The applicaiton is for real estate lending, both for individual mortgages and for large builder developments. We want to push out a upgrade to the product and we are stuck in committee. Everybody in committee wants to know why VFP? They are now even talking about sending our app to India to be rewrtitten in .Net. Of course you understand that these are a bunch of business suits who know nothing about the applications, the code, VFP or even .Net.

I guess my main point would be that even if it was written with bath files... unless the current app isn't meeting current needs functionality wise then why change it for the sake of change. Now, if it needed a major update or needed to move to the web, etc... then the 'what are we going to do this project in' discussion is relavent.
