You can do a search on the UT on this topic, there were many threads about the conversion from FPW to VFP.

IMHO, don't convert, rewrite the app from scratch. Other than not using new features from VFP, the screens will look ugly at best and you will have a hard time having old screens coexist easily with the new ones.

Rewriting will not take much more time than trying a converstion and you will have a far better app (functionality and maintenance).

My 2 cents.
>Can anyone give me an idea of the type of problems I might encounter when moving a Foxpro for Windows (2.6) application up to Visual Foxpro 6 ? Is it possible to move the application to 6.0 and run the screens as programs (code tab) at the same time develop new forms with Visual Fox and keep everything in the same project ? We've debated this at work back and forth and to tell the truth not sure if this is really feasible in the first place.
