I am curious, was this program still in action ? or are you just saving/rescuing old Data for a Company

Its still in everyday action! We have a need to be off of it in 2 months. Should be no problem now.

I'm amazed it is still in action, because of the age, it is probably only 16bit or less. I wish my clients would of let me use a emulator, I could of keep programming in Clipper till the day I retired.

Glad you solved your problem, tough problems can cause a lot of stress but when you solve them, it's a great feeling of accomplishment..

that is amazing, that last old system in use I encounterd was 2006
there was nothing wrong with it, the CEO just wanted it ..New..
it was for Logistic
