I have a Mensa eligible IQ and the business runs on V7.3.4.5; but only because the application is tied to Forms3 to support about two dozen remote sites across a frame relay network.

It actually is a VERY stable database. When I need to make use of newer features I simply call packages which reside in a V9.0.1.4 instance or use the V9.0.1 to make the request from a V9.2.0.3 instance.

Don't laugh too hard. It works.
The business is profitable.
The revenues have grown at a 20+% rate annually for the last 10 years and I'm paid a decent wage.

So who is an idiot? Received on Fri Jul 25 2003 - 19:33:49 CDT
