>I am attempting to convert a FoxPro 2.6 application into VFP 5.0a. Time is something I don't have. Is there anyway I could use some of the old routines and attach them to a menu item and use DO XXX.prg? I have used the old code for the login procedure and that worked. As far as the other more complex routines, I have not been able to reuse the 2.6 code. Any suggestions or advise?

Alejandro Sosa has posted a fpd2.6 to VFP form converter here in Files section - it may work for you, or be just a good intermediate step in the rewrite. I've looked at the code and it mostly does what it should. Don't know how would it work for FPW, though. Anyway, you get VFP forms from your Say/Gets, with your snippet code moved into methods, and that's what's eating most of your time in a manual rewrite. I must stress the difference between his method and so-called "visual or functional" conversion that VFP native converter offers - Alejandro's converter creates a form which is real VFP form, and VFP's conversion puts you into a Read Emulation, which is a kludge.
