VFP8 image-object worse than VFP7 image-object??? 1

[MarnickBolle]

Our customers use a VFP application on a Terminal Server 2000. The best possible color setting on TS2000 is 256 colors. This was not a problem with our VFP7 application, because the photo's in the image-object looked good.

We changed nothing with the photo's, we changed nothing with the color setting, we just did an upgrade to VFP8 and now the photo's look terrible. The only reasen I can find is that the image-object of VFP8 is worse than the image-object in VFP7.

I know in TS2003 the color settings can be better than 256 colors, but do we have to oblige our customers to upgrade from TS2000 to TS2003, because we upgraded from VFP7 to VFP8???

Has somebody experience (and a solution??) with this problem?

Hi, MarnickBolle,
I still use VFP6, so I don't know much of VFP7 or VFP8, or upgrading problems. But a solution I used to choose in these cases (with previous versions, and when switching from one xBase family product to another), is to maintain and support separate working versions of your application. Keep one in VFP7, one in VFP8, and you customers shouldn't be obliged to switch. But you should learn a little about advantages of TS2003 over TS2000 (and among them - a chance to use your improved application), and try to convince them to switch. They should feel they chose the new version themselves, because it would give them certain advantages, not because you made them.
