Hi Harry,
I suggest you rethink your strategy in converting the 2x app to VFP. It would probably be a lot easier in both the short term and the long term to do a better conversion up front rather than what I gather you're doing--a small conversion (by small I mean sticking to 2x concepts and ways of doing things) and then planning to go back to make it more VFP-like.
I've done a few of these conversions and IMO you will save time and money by doing it closer to properly (if not completely properly) the first time.
Regards, Chaim
