Would "them" be the NT apps? :-) In general I agree with Nils' "if in ain't broken don't fix it" approach. For straight data entry work I think a "keep your hands on the keyboard" character based application beats waving a mouse about any day. (Yes I know there are keyboard short cuts for mouse operations. I can probably spare the brain cells to remember about 1% of them.) On the other hand I seem to remember that the New Era shipment includes runners for both Peform and Ace. Perhaps that's what Lynn needs. Ian
