Mike,
Out of curiosity checked your tip and found this there:
IF VERSION(5)>=700
If you're checking version then I think you thought the version in use might be older than 7.x? If so version(5) was introduced in VFP6. IMHO a check like this would be more appropriate:
IF type('VERSION(5)')='N' and VERSION(5)>=700Cetin
