>I have a new project that may need to access and update some data still being maintained by an old Fox for DOS app. Actually, it is more like a FoxBase+ app ported to Fox 2.5 for DOS. The old app runs and does everyting the client needs and I really do not want to mess with it. I tried a trial conversion and there were just too many issues. So what I need to know is this: if I need to update the old Fox2.x tables from VFP, will the old DOS app still be able to read the data or do I need to do it through views?

No problem. I have developed several VFP apps that use DBFs that are still in use by legacy 2.x apps.
