List Status Test-----NEXT QUESTION?

Fri May 12 09:26:13 PDT 2017

This is just a “what if” question.  The possibility of it happening is slim to none……

I am not trying to start a rumor or anything of the sorts!!!!

If you did not have Windows FilePro, what would you use on a Windows platform????

??

Why would you think that filePro would not work on Windows 11?

If Windows 11 comes out and FilePro will no longer work on it.  What Windows program do you write the new system in?

Anyone know anything about Filemaker Pro?  I keep hearing suggestions about this software.

On the other hand, my clients have informed me that I am to install a computer and phone line in my coffin.  They want to be able to reach me no matter where I am.

This goes for vacations also.  That's why I try to go to sites where I can't easily be reached.

By the way, it does not matter if one is moving from filePro or some other database to a new one.  I was  hired by a mid-sized Equitable Insurance agent to advise them on the conversion from Eatable's IBM system 1 system to a new Windows based network database.  There was a program that would move the data from the old system to the new one.  the only major issue was the old system had a field which was similar to filePro's memo field.  Most of the agencies used this field for other then was it was designed for.  They stored notes, birthdates, anniversaries, etc. in this field.  The people from Equitable Migration Team advised that this data could not be transferred as it was "free form".  I asked why they could not use a memo type field for this data.  They wouldn't or couldn't answer although they had been asked many times about that issue.

My only solution was for my client was to print out the data in that field.  There was a report on the system that did just that.  The new system did have a place in the new client file to enter important dates and other information that the agency may want to key on.

John,

I fully agree with what you are saying, but management is "Microsoft"

brainwashed....

They know or understand nothing else.....

I have experience on both.  You will be sorry.  ACCESS is cheap but it has no

flexibility. Simple things like 'ALLUP' edit and the other editing commands do not

exist in ACCESS, nor can you create them. Most of the reports you can easily

generate using filePro will be extremely difficult or impossible using ACCESS.

I have seen too many know nothing hotshots making promises and failing.

I believe you and your company will be very, very, very sorry.

John

I have been using FilePro for over 25 years now.  My company is planning on

replacing it with  "Microsoft Access".  A young hot shot MS wannabe

programmer is supposed to write the new system and replace FilePro in a couple

of years.  We will see how that pans out....
