>I have an account that used an application built using VFP6.0. They need to use the software on another PC (Pentium II) that only has Window 3.1 installed on it. They have no plans to upgrage the OS on that PC.

Nope - the closest you'll get with a VFP version is VFP3, using the (not stable and no longer officially supported Win32S subsystem to provide limited support for some Win32 memory model and API calls under Win3.11 and WfWG.) Porting a well-written VFP6 app to 2.6 will be painful at best. And there are Y2K issues.
