Is that bad news? Look at it with the right glasses. Your customers have been reluctant to upgrade your application for 10-15 years, now at last you can force them. DOS is dead! So are eight track car stereo.

If it's not your customers who have not upgraded, but you who have not upgraded this application to Windows, you have dug your own grave, and you should have known it all along.

>Just got our new Vista system, and started testing some of our legacy Foxpro 2.6 applications. This is the first incompatibility we detected:
>
>The RUN Command does not SEE any files!
>
>For example when you run
>RUN dir/p
>
>It does not show the file names.
>
>If you run RUN COPY *.DBF c:\trash
>It responds with "File does not exist..."
>
>So, if you are using the RUN command to copy files w/Wild Card name/extension, you'll have problem (Since Foxpro2 does not support wild card in it's COPY FILE command).

>I even right clicked on all the Fox*.exe files and set their compatibility to Windows XP (since it works just fine under XP).

>Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
