Thank you, David.
I am wondering why Microsoft is giving such a weak support to this command. Otherwise many legacy app could have been converted much easier.

Roberto,

You are looking at it from the wrong point of view.

@..SAY is old, legacy code. It does not fit well into the object syntax that Visual apps use, not to mention the objec oriented paradigm.

If you want to keep old 2.6 code, like that, then why migrate? Just stay with FPW2.6 and that choice may work fine for you. IOW, if you want to migrate to VFP, you can't just recompile old code, but should re-design and re-architect the app from the ground app.

Else, you would be using a Corvette with a Fiat 600 engine. (I'm sure you remember those {g}).

If you need to get up to speed with OOP in VFP I'd like to invite you to next week's Wednesday Night Lecture, in Spanish, here in the UT, titled "Introducción A Orientación De Objetos En VFP".
