Hi Bernard,

Technically, you can just recompile the programs in VFP, however I wouldn't recommend it. My suggestion would be a re-write.

I had to do this once and my approach was to create the forms from scratch and where possible salvage code and/or entire procedures from the old application to become custom methods. Some, luckily for me, I kept as is and others I OOPed to have references like ThisForm.ThisObject, etc. HTH
