How long did it take you to convert everything? We have about 900 display files and about 1600 programs and are expecting it to take about 6 years the manual route with 4 programmers working on it. We don't want to take that long so we were checking around with the big guys and most of them say about 9 months to a year, but management saw the price tags and wanted to know if we could go cheaper. I guess they did not take into account the time it would take would also be costly,much more so than paying for the tools. We are really looking to see if there was an quick/easy/cheap way to do this. If cheap is not an option we will probably be able to convince management just had to check. --buck "Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered -- either by themselves or by others." -Mark Twain
