Hi Mandy,

Yes, leave VFP3 on while you install VFP5. Do remember to change the default directory or you get VFP4 ;-)

Your forms and tables should open correctly. You may have to re-compile the libraries COMPILE CLASSLIB libname. Open your project manager, click on Compile All and let it run.

Enjoy,
Barbara
