>So what are the key benifits in upgrading to 5. The applications I mainly work with are web based, so I'm more concerned with the engine performance and speed of running code than the forms development; unless that is it will let you design a form then write it to HTML. but of course I'm probally dreaming there.
Ther are numerous docs regarding this. First, Colin had a link to a .DOC file describing the changes to VFP5. I believe it was in his "Link of the UTP" area. His page is at
http://www.state.sd.us/people/colink/foxpage.htm.
There are also many docs regarding this at the MS site. And more than a few thread discussing this here and on the nesgroups. check out dejanews and the search engine here....
My favorite thing about 5.0 is the changes to development environment. That alone is worth the $200, IMHO. (s)
