>>Dave, I would suggest you keep your VFP5 copy of the project, make a copy of your project in a new directory and recompile it in VFP 6. Your classes will work with no changes. Another thing if you want to incorporate VFP 6 features into them (_ACCESS and _ASSIGN methods, for example), then they not be backward compatible with your VFP5 version.

You won't have the VFP5 version around for long. There aren't many kinks to work out.
