> > Like you, I started developing programs with Fox 1989. Now, with the nature of my role/function in our agency, I recommend to our Management the company's IS Platform included in our three-year Corporate IS Strategic Plan. Our request to purchase MS system software is underway (Disbursement Voucher in the process) initially at USD 50,000.00. Includes software assurances and licenses of MS SQL, Windows Adv.Server, MS Exchange, ISA Server, Visio, Office, Windows XP and Visual Studio.net (5 lic.). And of course, my VFP with Lic. to use for five developers also, initially. The company's target is around 405 workstations connected or with access to the servers in three years. To complete the licenses alone, (shall) we cough up (?) USD 470,000.00. VFP's share, as mentioned plus 10 licenses more.
> > But I am relying very much on VFP, MS SQL and MS Adv. Server for our database application. It's my neck on the betting table. This forum gives me the moral support and a place to witness success stories.

> Thanks to our General Manager, RCU, a Lion Lady who is straight to the point (no red tape), our software will be delivered next week by the supplier. THe CHECK worth PHP 2.5M was signed by her yesterday and the photocopy was faxed to DBM-Procurement Service. Software for Phil. Govt. Agencies is now classified as commonly used items. PCSO issues the Check to the DBM-Procurement Service. It's government to government agency transaction. The latter pays the supplier.
> MS VFP earned five points from this transaction.
