>>Are any data compatibility problems between VFP6 and VFP5? I mean, if I modify table/database structure in VFP6, or even create new table from scratch there, will it pose any problem working with this data from VFP5 application?

>There are not problems with the 5.0 and 6.0 tables. They are identical. As someone mentioned, just don't modify stored procedures because they will be recompiled and made unusable to 5.0 applications. However, 6.0 will run 5.0 compiled programs without changes. The only file structures that changed were for menu files. This was needed for ActiveDoc support.

Thank You. It looks pretty safe now, that application is very simple (no stored procedures/triggers).
