>>>If you can, by all means do it. I am finding there are so many more *toys* available under 32bit than in 16. I also have the recent luxury of requiring Win95 because I have been instructed to develop in VFP5 only because of the tools I need to use.

>>I DO have 3.0 and have for awhile now, wanted to know diff between 3.0 vs 5.0 were significant. And now I hear 6.0 is out.
>Tim,
>If I were you would wait for 6.0 for financial reasons. Currently there are differences between 5 and 3 (not as much as Brasil vs Turkey in football - yeah cup is going hot and I bet for Brasil) but also will be (HOPE) between 6 and 5. With betas around, there shouldn't be much to wait. Only think while waiting, I think you should avoid using "setfocus" in valid and/or when (which is accepted in VFP3 and not in VFP5). Also your clients would no more support of using 16 bit OS with Win32S (simply upgrade to Win95, 98 or NT is a must for them).

Cetin, I have all my clients using WIN95 now and have for some time. You say the setfocus won't work in 5.0 but will in 6.0. This sounds like a BUG!
Sounds like upfrading to 5.0 from 3.0 was not worth it but will be from 3.0 to 6.0? Thanks
