I suppose the concerns could be valid if you are working with machines with say 64mb of ram. But if you are doing that, it is time to upgrade! I mean FPD26 is ok - but running machines that are 6 or more years old is a bit ridiculous... considering that you could replace them for $300.00 or so without monitors. You also have the ability to take a large tax break in Louisiana in technology through the end of this year!

>The problem with making a VFP app would be having to install it via CD with the VFP library files.. and fear of overhead issues after having loaded up the FPD26 runtime.. and then having to load up the VFP runtime.. its something that we've considered.. but we're just worried about some of the Win98 machines that are still out there.. am I worrying about nothing? -- Len
