Hi Samuel,

Hey, I just noticed...another Canuck on line!

I am mostly done updating an app from VFP7 to 9 and the biggest thing I had to work on was changes to the GROUP BY clause in SELECT. It works quite a bit differently and I ended up having to rewrite some stuff quite a bit. So search for that kind of code (especially in reporting).

The other item that burned up a lot of time was that one particular kind of report this company does everyday did not work exactly the same - I used to hack the .frx of the report using the info to "pre-process" the report to know if certain lines were being "stranded" at the top of a page (i.e. 1 line at the top of a page) and with that info, do my own kind of "orphan-widow" protection. This did not work at all in VFP9 as the report writer has changed enough that I could not rely upon the values in the .frx for line heights etc. I had to rewrite the report using a "report listener" which was a learning curve in itself.

HTH.

>What is the difference between this two version in terms of programming? I just opened my VFP 6.0 project in VFP 9.0 and everything seems to be working. What is the advantage of 9.0 to 6.0?
