That's because that line didn't do what you thought it did in VFP 6. It created two variables, a scalar called dimension and an array called laTemp. VFP 7 no longer permits variable declarations without commas between them, so it found this error.

As for file format issues, the menu format has changed. If you open a VFP 6 MNX file in VFP 7, it'll get converted and you won't be able to open it in VFP 6. If you turn on dbc events for a database in VFP 7, you can't open it in 6. However, turning off dbc events makes it available to 6 again.

Other than those two, all file formats are compatible.
