You won't gain much by recompiling your 2.6 code in VFP. You will miss nearly all the best features of VFP: OOP, event model, etc.

I would recommend a complete rewrite of your application to take advantage of all the new feature of VFP. Not to mention that trying a convertion will take you about the same time as a complete rewrite and the result will be much less appealing.

The amount of time required to do this, would depend on the complexity of the software, the number of forms and reports are not a good enough to give a correct estimate. You could have 100 forms that only have 3 controls on them or you could have 3 forms that have 150 controls on them with a complex algorithm.

>We have a need to carry our foxpro 2.6 for windows application to Visual Foxpro 5.0. How many work will we take to do it, if the foxpro 2.6 project has 115 screens and the same number of reports, aprox.
>Can I measure the time or the effort we need? Maybe could we generate an EXE in VFP 5.0 without convert source code, as a beginnig? What is the main advantages we will have?
