I understand completely Scott... and I know that Common is pretty 'IBM
centric'.

Our business is in a growth spurt and we have new users coming from windows
platforms and they see our green screens and say 'ewwwww'...

They are the 'what I know is what I like' crowd, and they don't give a hoot
about the tech behind the scenes. I read Nathans's article earlier this
week and kudos to him for doing such a fine job of modernizing apps and
keeping everything on one platform. But in healthcare we have so many
disparate systems running - some on the i, some in browsers, some in MS SQL
environments, and some practice specific solutions and users like the look
and feel and intuitiveness of what they've learned using windows. And when
we suggest developing new apps they wonder why they can't have the windows
look and feel. That's not to say we've decided to go down the .net path,
but only I've been asked to explore the possibilities.

One of my first responses to him when he asked about .net was that I told
him I quit writing MS Access applications after Office 2k came out because
starting with Access95 and then Access97 and then Access2k, every time I
upgraded office I had to rewrite those apps because the upgrade broke them
- and I certainly don't want that hassle if that's the case with Visual
Studio and .net.
