Hey Stephen - I didn't say we were going to REWRITE the App - just do some

kinda Overhaul to make it run properly under Win8 on a Tablet. As it is - my

boss wants to re-write an ENTIRE CRM System - which currently runs like DOS

screens (FP 4 DOS) running under Windows - and now he wants to re-write it

all to Windows. And, we have Numerous Clients w/highly Customized systems -

and he wants us to Convert them. And, this is all besides updating this

simple app (for Entry of Sales Orders) to run on a Tablet. Meanwhile - its

like he wants it ALL done ASAP - and yet there are only TWO of us

programmers - and I am really the only Competent one here who can do Major

Dev. & Screen designs!!! So - no way we can Rewrite the whole Sales app to

run on Win8 - just Tweak it to make it look right.

However, in the end - if it just looks like TOO MUCH Work - may just have to

tell my Boss its NOT Truly Feasible to do!

Not like he really listens to me...

-K-

If you are going to rewrite the app for display purposes why not put it in

a language that can do HTML5 for your presentation layer? Then Metro is

easy to accomplish today as well as any new presentation type of the

future.
