They say there are no stupid questions, but I'm sure this one is in the running. Why won't VFP run on 64 bit? What is the underlying archetecture that keeps programs from working anymore?

>As for time frames, look at Win95 to XP because that's where the 32 bit available to 64 bit available line is at. That was 6 years. If you look at XP to no 32 bit, you have 7 years. My guess is another 5-7 years from release of Windows Server 2008, now set for February, you will see 32 bit compatability dropped.
