Everyone please raise your hand if you have been here and done that. Looks like everyone to me. I refused to do that with my used car app and just this week it bit me. I had to reinstall the app to a client whose hard drive tanked. That box was a P1 running 98 or 95 ??? Anyway I had to look at my old fpd source to see what table's fpt file was blown. I cannot run the project in FPD on Win7 something about a memory issue. hahahaha not enough resources on a box with 3 gig of ram. It is tough looking at a rewrite. Very hard knowing at a great deal of your former work needs a 100% adaptation to take advantage of the great newness of the current software you are writing in. Like a base class for your forms, now every form needs an overhaul. As well as a data adapter for said forms. Crap a complete rewrite. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com 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/c4313dbe0911120823ia3a0fcal1bdfbbb5d9c7f...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
