Aikon, The one thing you loose sight of is any choice you make will cost you money and time!
Migration of the in-house application to any of the top alternative software application vendors will cost more in licensing than R:Base would in most cases. The cost for the change of the software will involve the re-development of the application, additional learning curve (efficiency) and conversion of the data. All three of these have a considerable cost! You gain a great deal of flexibility in your programming and maintenance of the in-house application by upgrading to the newest version of R:Base. During the conversion a developer could improve the applications by review of the code and eliminating the programming errors from the original in-house pseudo programmer. Put real numbers together and you will see the difference! R:Base will be the choice! Time will be the biggest cost! So tell the in house naysayers if you can go somewhere else then why not update the version of R:Base. You will have during the conversion the opportunity to improve your present application! Have one or many of the developers talk with these people! Remember I can drag and drop, dynamic choose, variable forms, external form files (start-up without an open database!), reporting in PDF (lot more here), Charting, faxing, Emailing and many more features with in today's RBASE. Can your application do that today? R:Base is your all in one solution! Pass this on to those people who don't believe!

Dear Aiko, Please understand that you or your clients cannot blame R:BASE for the original programmers short comings. Ask any R:BASE user/developer, or any software developer, that you can only expect a product to perform with what you put into it. This community will be the first to confirm that some still have clients running legacy applications and have not yet upgraded to the new version, yet. To help them understand "why" they should upgrade, please review the following: http://www.rbase.com/support/whyupgrade.php John
