>I am currently evaluating a project which was started in FoxPro 2.6 for the Mac. We are looking at upgrading it to VFP 3.0 for the Mac. My question is, does anyone know what the state of VFP for the Mac is? Will Microsoft continue to support and upgrade the platform?

I believe that VFP 3 is the last and final version for the Mac. VFP 5 and 6 is strictly Windows 95/98/NT. As to your Mac to Windows conversion you should be able to take the VFP 3 project and rebuild it on Windows 95/98/NT using VFP 3,5,6 or whatever the version happens to be at the time. I say "should" because I've never done it but it is supposed to work. Maybe someone here who has done it can confirm this. HTH
