Too bad for us as our business cannot operate without the FP application I have spent the last 4 years of my life creating and maintaining. I have not had the time to convert to VFP/Mac and don't know if it has a problem with the new system or not. Has anyone out there tried it?

Hi,Bette

I have used MS Foxpro 2.6a for Mac for 3 years,it's a quiet stable database application development tool for Mac OS 7.x.However,MS product performance always shows less responsive in Mac than Windows platform.I think (or you may agree) MS didn't put major concern in MS product for Mac to take the most advantage out of Mac.So do Mac OS 8.

I had had the same problem to looking for a right database tools in Mac,I have try FileMaker Pro,it was nice but limit in programability.4D was too far for me.So I stay with MS FoxPro.Have you ever considered to upgrade to VFP 3.0b for Mac ? At least MS will pay more attention in supporting VFP 3.0/Mac than FoxPro 2.6/Mac.

Peronsally,I love Macintosh.But for businese,I have switched to PC platform to take VFP 5.0 sophistication.

Good lucky.
