John,

I took a VFP class thru AppDev a year ago. One thing that we were showed that I thought was really slick, that I've used since, is a method for porting a 2.6 app to VFP quickly. The method is designed to remove the problem of screens being recompiled in VFP incorrectly due to incompatibilities.

The gist of the method is to modify all the "DO X.Spr" calls to indirect calls, such as "DO &X..spr". You will then have to manually pull all the SPRs into the VFP project. VFP will run the SPR code as is. Then you can remove the screens and replace them with forms on a case by case basis.
