As long as you don't need multi-user functionality. I read somewhere that it doesn't support it.
We do a lot of in FP2.6 for the Mac with a few projects in VFP3.0 for the Mac. There are some problems, but they can be worked with, and once you have things working it is stable. The only recurring problem I have is that the Macs lockup a lot and if a VFP Database is open, it corrupts the DBC and is a pain to fix.
