Hi Sergey,
I made very few applications with VFP 5 and 6 - some with very sophisticated reports and I cannot say I like very much. This is so different from Foxpro DOS.
To help developping faster I bought the framework CodeMine from Soft Classics Ltd but I could not find the time to learn it and it will probably take some time before I use it. The reason I bought it was obviously to develop faster in Windows VFP but I am very lucky in a way since I found a few customers that have developped some very big system since 14 years - started with dBase then Fox up to DOS Foxpro 2.6a - and they want to improve the software...in DOS only under NT. So, I have some work there for many years to come.
Merry Christmas to you!

>>Hi,

>>Thanks for your help concerning this Foxpro problem under NT.

>>When you mention "relocate your program to VFP 6.0", do you mean to rewrite it?
>>
>>If you mean to recompile the source code under VFP 6.0, I did not know it could be done.
>>o Is it complicate to do?
>*** Yes it is very complicate to do but main difficult is how persuade cusomers pay for it and upgrade they computers. This is the main difficult (specially for Russia). But I can solve it.

>>o That must give bizard results. No?
>*** Yes you are right again - you must develope your new programming style - and you must change your mind for it. I spend in two much time for develope new program under the NT then DOS. I don't know why... And some Dos command more powerfull and easy. But you have to relocate your customers under NT platform.
>This is life... we couldn't stop future and MS new ideas...

>>o Is there any retouch to do?
>*** Yes and No. You can use some code from the old programms, specially clear code net connected with forms and reports, but the best way - rewrite it again. VFP 6.0 have new very powerfull and interesting commands.
