Randall,

>We have a number of programs out there written in Fox 2.5. We are thinking of compiling them in VFP6. Will the tables stay a 2.5 table or will it convert to a VFP6 table after we run the program? Reason I ask is that we have one accounting system that will still be in the old Fox 2.5. VFP6 will grab the tables from the old tables and append things into them. Now Does it save it as a VFP6 table or a 2.5 table if it starts out as a 2.5 table?

Just opening 2.5 tables and appending into them won't cause a problem, although you may need to SET CPDIALOG OFF to avoid the codepage message.

The problems you would likely see are when creating new files (such as temp files) or copying from an existing table to a new table. In those cases, you can COPY TO filename TYPE FOX2X.

Also, creating indexes will change the format of the table.
