Here's some ideas, maybe someone else has others...

The biggest concern I have is the top-level SCREEN=OFF problem, all my apps are top-level only. I've been following threads on this -- and hoping there'll be a fairly quick patch for it. There are also a couple performance issues (SQL, object loading) I've been following, and apparently some setup problems...all these things might cause me some grief...

I have beta6, and have converted two small apps. One works fabulously, faster/better in 6 than 5. The other is an older app started in 3, and it hasn't converted well - loses toolbar, view/grid source problems, and some funny color problems. All fixable, but will require some recoding...

In the meantime, Congress is helping me delay upgrading, since they've not passed the budget yet so I can't get VS 6 until they do. See my sig below :) But from what I've been following on 6, I don't want to rush into it with large apps anyway...
