>Our company has a 15 year old, very large DOS based system which consists of a main module and many add-ons. We want to convert it fully to VFP (i.e. DBC, report forms, etc.) but the reality of what that will take is starting to sink in. What we're wondering is how feasible is it to do a phased migration?

In addition to Meachem's advice, you should go to www.microsoft.com/vfoxpro and look for the FoxPro Migration Kit. It has lots of goodies to help you get to VFP.
