Hello,

>>1) Does vfp work with Oracle 8.0<<

I am using Oracle 8 with vfp 5.0a and it works fine. There are some field changes you need to make -- like Oracle doesn't know what to do with the Logical data type, I use Numeric (1) and then 1 for true and 0 for false.

>>2) The Oracle guys say that oracle soes not support
index files (.cdx)<<

Oracel has its own indexes, the CDX is just for VFP tables -- shouldn't be an issue.

>>3) When I use the Oracle upsizing wizard, i get lost of errors :
a) The table structure gets created.
b) The index does not get created.
c) The data does not go over at all
WHY?????<<

What errors do you get, is is NULL type errors, true/false versus 1/0 type error?
