Taoman, I think that backs up my point to Andrew, ie. either the older stuff will have been replaced, or the co. has decided positively to keep it (you agree I think). Either way, there's not a lot of migration business after year 2000. >>Nope. Maybe that's true elsewhere(I doubt it), but not in the case of the DEC base. Why? Because, as has been stated previously on this thread, there are 7K DEC applications and only 1200 NT applications. Why leave behind the stuff you use and know for a new, unknown application that doesn't fit your needs? First get your software(and your database) compliant, then migrate, bringing everything you had before with you.<< I agree this will happen in a lot of cases. But with the speed of development possible with the tools on the market today, the attraction of the GUI and a general desire to move from VMS at some point, I think you will see a lot of redevelopment and replacement. A new lease of life for the IT department, with a guaranteed budget! P.
