>Can I get the studio package upgrade even if I only own VFP 5.0?

i upgraded from vfp 3.0 to the entire visual studio 97 so i think you can go from vfp5 to visual studio 98

>Do I need the enterprise version, or can I just buy the professional version since I won't "really" be working with the other studio packages? Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated!

it depends on whether or not your company would like to use MS SQL server as a data providing back end

as far as learning goes ... if you can master 2 of the members of visual studio
in one year you'll be doing a great job

the pro edition gives you more than enough "learning material" ... LOL
