Hi Alex,
Just remember that if it's a one off conversion - its possible to write code in the same way as 2.6 does it. Just need to recreate all the screens - ignore all the fancy new features like dataenvironment/buffering etc. Most of the old code will work just fine. Each screen should then have a .prg "wrapper" where you declare and scope form level variables. (But at least subclass the VFP base classes one level - even if they are a direct copy)
