Well, you should have in mind it's not my ass in the line. Having said that, I would consider 10 years from now is long enough time to do an orderly retreat. I would not consider migration right now, plenty of time. What I would consider is to make my apps three tiered and let the data tier be a multi platform non proprietary server. This would be no extra cost as you are improving your software and you may keep updates and modifications coming as required. Five years from now, when your apps are already multi tiered (and Dabo the new industry standard ;c) ), you'll be able to decide where to best migrate. If the tool is also multi platform you need not stop your production pace, you just take your apps to the new tool one at a time (you can always call the new exe's from VFP menus) as customer's requirements make it convenient to port. Eventually, when most of your code is ported, you can change platforms if it suits you. In short, there's enough time to do it orderly, and it needs not be overly expensive. Hope it helps. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
