I have to admit that my thoughts would be along similar lines - if they won't sell me what I need then how can they blame me for just using it!
I think that you can buy a Vista licence and then use it to run XP (assuming you have the CD of course). I don't know what would happen about the keys and activation though. Certainly when we needed to buy a copy of VFP 5 after VFP 6 was released that was what M$ advised us to do. IIRC there was an incompatibility with our software and VFP 6 which wasn't present with VFP 5 - I can't remember the details. John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 > I doubt it.
