Hi Michel,

I'm not going to echo what the others have said. What I am going to do is quote (or at least paraphrase) Ken Levy. He's called it the most stable version of VFP to date. My experience with it so far confirms it. Given some of the new features and capabilities, it's a very worthwhile upgrade. You may find some things don't work quite the same way (WAIT WINDOW's in SDI forms may not appear as they did before), but they still work. In this case, you've got to have the Desktop property set to .F. where it was .T. before.
