And if I can add a bit of constructive advice, take a SMALL subset of your application; say customer entry/update Around a dozen programs or so. Run the subset through a conversion (manual or otherwise.) This 'first time' will give you the absolute worst case scenario for how hard it will be to GUI-fy your applications. Then do it again with a second subset about the same size. This is a much closer approximation to how long it'll take to do the actual work. Remember to go end-to-end: from conception to conversion to 'touch-up' to deployment to a client actually using it in a production mode (no QSECOFR/QPGMR!) That will expose quite a few strengths/weaknesses of each technique. If you convert the same subset several ways you will also be able to more quickly see how they _act_ when you use them. You can even run them side-by-side for performance and 'look and feel' comparisons. All on your own hardware with your own database. --buck
