John,

No need to do anything. They will continue to be free tables in Fox 2x format unless you add them to a dbc, or alter the structure to add something that is only available in VFP6 like the Y or T formats, or null support.

Copy your app and data to a safe place and play with it! See what work it needs for a minimum conversion and how slow it is or how bad it looks.

I had a little teeny app that I did this with and it ran fine. I also ran it through the converter to see what it did. (Puts everything in page frames, and got the color source error which is corrected by changing the color source to 4.)

Still have no reason to migrate this little app for real, so I continue to have my source code and run the app, and I threw the play stuff away.

>>Another way to do this is to take all of the screen sets out of the project and add in the spr programs. Then your calls to DO MyScreen.spr can remain unchanged. As noted, you will need to modify the forms in 2.6 and re-generate the code. Nevertheless it will run perfectly with a minimum of effort while you implement a more permanent solution.
