>Does anyone know of any problems with using win 2000 and foxpro 2.6a applciations? the ms site says that they are compatitible but i'd much rather hear from the audience and poeple who work with it eVERyday....want to hear from the congregation..

Unlike one of your replies, I have definately had a number of problems with Win2000 and FPW2.6a. The main problem I had is that a library that I use extensively, "Winlist", does not work under Win2K. Also, my application runs much slower under Win2K with regarding to the useage and opening of tables and general data handling. I think this is something to do with the way Win2K "emulates" a 16bit environment.

As a result, I then went to WinNT for the first time after Win2K. I run my application on WinNT server and WinNT workstation(s). All of my libraries work in WinNT (including "Winlist") and the speed is at least as good as I experienced with Win95/98. I have asked around and it seems that WinNT is more reminiscent technically of the original Windows 3.x environment (for which FWP was targeted) than is Win2K - obviously, seen as how long they have both respectively been around. So, my main system on the office LAN runs on Novell Netware and Windows NT server, Win95/98/NT workstation(s).

I develop mostly on a Dell Laptop with which I dual boot between Win2K for VFP development and Win98 (both using FAT32) for my 2.6 work.

Hope this helps.
