Hello Craig,

Us non-devCon-ers are keeping you hopping!

I was not merely trying to overstate the obvious. I would think that the list of things that would break in our code would be very small (if anything at all, and again, I'm assuming a recompile). To me, it sounds like most of the Microsoft's VFP source code would be broken--the undertaking of work would be at MS.

I see no why no reason for the syntax of the language to change just because the underlying processing has gone to 64-bit. However, I'm no expert...

Take care,
