Hi Thomas,

I got a question from my former manager about converting an old Fox 2.6 into VFP. AFAIK it has just few screens. Would you be willing to share your converter even if it's not perfect?

Thanks a lot in advance.

>>I am looking for software to assist in the conversion from Fox2.6/W Screens to VFP forms. I thought I had found a company in PA that had such a product, but they said they wouldn't sell it because it was "antiquated." I'm not worried about that, it's the 2.6 screens that are antiquated ...

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
