There is no quick way to migrate appropriately from 2.6 to 3.0/5.0. The convert app that comes with 3.0/5.0 is awesome, no doubt. It took my 4 MB exe and converted it with over 50 forms and 30 reports and a 1.4 MB prg file in 2.6 to 3.0 with only one error (i had a udf called ttoc and ctot that needed fixing as these are reserved functions in 3.0/5.0 with the new time format). The result however was a 2.6 app running under 3.0, not a VFP app. To rewrite the app into an event model from a read model and really take advantage of VFP with its grids, pageframes and more has taken me over 15 months and I'm about 95% done now.
