For starters why not re-compile in VFP 9 and convert the backend to
Oracle/SQL Server/MySQL/etc. then see what they think. A small web app
could access the same data independently.

Hey -- --
A long-time client (25 years!) called me up last week. Looking to update an
application I first wrote in FoxBase+ Mac. It ran on Mac & DOS together,
then Windows. I haven't touched it since converting it to VFP -- a long
time ago -- maybe VPF 5 or 6 (Gosh I'm having a hard time remembering which
was the first really stable release). They love what I did for them. It has
run *so* long, trouble-free. I can't believe how long they have been using
it.
They contacted me last week. Time for a rewrite. Naturally I'd like to do
it, and I certainly could use the business.
Well, the company has grown up, now Oracle and MS-SQL are the standard data
stores. I haven't "done" MS-SQL since moving to open source stuff. I think
the last version I had was -- (oh, crap, I just looked it up) -- 2000. I've
already downloaded "2012 Express" and am looking to play a bit with it this
week.
