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.
