Dana,

Have you just tried running the FPW 2.6 source code under VFP? About 19 months ago before MS released the patch, I was able to do this for one large project where they didn't want to do a rewrite.

You really can't continue development in the environment, but frankly it's time to move the system to VFP object-oriented code and get away from the Y2K problems in the 2.6 code.

We have a couple of rather large applications written in FoxPro for Windows 2.6a, using Stonefield DataDictionary and Application Dictionary tools. I have already used the patch for fast computers from Microsoft's web site. I can start up FoxPro just fine. But if I try to modify project, whether from Stonefield's Application/Modify... menu or from the command window, I get an I/O Operation Failure. I can run the application if it is already compiled, but I cannot compile it. And the application behaves abnormally and errors out.

My boss wants me to use just the new computer, but until we can find a fix for this I can't. I the company decides to roll out a new wave of desktops for everyone it would be a disaster with this problem happening.
