>>Two questions:
>>1. I’m just a private user of VFP for my own applications. I have VFP7.0 and am considering updating to VFP 9.0. Can anyone tell me if VFP programs will continue to run on later operating systems than Windows XP?
>>2. When I upgrade, do I need to keep the old VFP 7.0 as well as the 9.0 upgrade, should I need to install on a new computer?
> Just curious: because you are private user of your own application, why do you need to upgrade? What is wrong or what you cannot do in VFP7?

I don't know if VFP7 has the same issue, but I ran into a problem with VFP6 when dealing with a COM+ DLL on Windows Server 2008. It appears that .TLB file generated by VFP6 is either missing fields or some fields are not initialized properly. This leads to the component not installing because the installation process would crash when handling the .TLB file. Recompiling with VFP9 fixed the problem (i.e. the TLB generated by VFP9 did not have the problem).
