Karen I didn't think there was going to be a DOS version past 7.5 or 7.6. If that is the case and you want the users to continue to work
1. You should upgrade to current DOS version then make sure the code, forms, reports and labels work. 2. Then you would have to upgrade code to work with 7.6 windows including creating all forms, reports, labels. 3. Then in theory you would be able to just upgrade them to 9.x The other thing you could do is to leave them running DOS 4.5 and just re-write everything for 9.x It may or may not be cheaper for the client to do this way instead of buying R:Base DOS 7.x and R:Base 7.x and R:Base 9.x. The other benefit would be cleaning up any garbage tables, forms, reports and labels.

We will probably run DOS and windows side-by-side so he can slowly migrate functions over. Do you think it's smarter to upgrade his DOS to 6.5 rather than 7.x (9.x?) simply to help ensure that the 4.5 code has a greater chance of running unchanged? Karen
