>In my office we are looking to install the newest version of Foxpro. We are currently using vfp 6. I was wonderinf if anyone knew about any known problems that I should look out for before proceeding. Again thank you all for your help. This site is extremely helpful. ~Bradley

There's no problem installing and running VFP9 side by side with previous VFP versions. Make sure that they're not sharing foxuser.dbf.
A lot of changes has been made to VFP since VFP6. I would recomend you to read What's NEW in VFP 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0:

- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fox7help/html/newWhats_New_in_Visual_FoxPro60.asp
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/using/documentation/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dv_foxhelp/html/fooriwhatsnewinvisualfoxpro80.asp
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dv_foxhelp9/html/d18b257b-4e8c-4bd7-bc46-682526474e68.asp

In particular, pay attention to SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR and SET REPORTBEHAVIOR commands.
