>>There is a class that I need to create a service that is only available in VFP9. It will send/recieve info using ports. There is a VFP8 application that will also communicate using these ports. Any issues having the service created in version 9 with the app in version 8? Thanks!

>>UPDATE: It's not the ports that I'm concerened with, but rather running VFP9 and VFP8 on the same box. Or any other issues anyone can think of.

>One thing I stumbled acorss once - if you're running a VFP8 app and then call a VFP9 app from within it - the VFP9 app actually uses the VFP8 runtimes.

The VFP9 service (exe) would be started automatically on Startup of the PC. The VFP8 app would be run independently by the user.
