Micro Endeavors has a good tutorial w/diskette called 'Migrating from 2.6 to 5.0'. It is an add-on to the VFP Transporter and allows you to convert an app
to VFP without a complete re-write. There are many issues to consider but maybe this will help you get started.
>I currently have a large Procedural Vertical Application written in FPD26. I want to give it the look of Visual Forms without necessarily converting my procedural code. I know that I can embed DO FORM statements in my current code which should produce screens that look like VFP screens, yet I have been told that it will not work properly. I have also been told that I cannot do anything within Visual that will allow me to use my procedural code and build a and compile a project under Visual using my existing code to any extent.

>By the way... I know that OOP etc. is the way to build a new app. I also know that I am not prepared to trash years of work on the alter of OOP. I need an approach that will buy me the time I need to rebuild my code. The look of Windows will do that. BUt I want it to be handled from within VFP..

>Can anyone help. All advice will be seriously considered.
