>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?

I agree with Sylvain. A rewrite is better so that you can take advantage of the new features of VFP. I converted a 2.6 dos app to VFP3 and it was a mistake. The screen were ugly and overly complex (a lot of page frames are used to simulate the read state of 2.6). My learning curve for VFP was protracted because I used the converted screens as the ideas for any new screens, which was not the way to go. Also a "converted" app will just give you a slow version of your old application.
