This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
You have an App/Exe that now requires the VFP7 runtime AND VC runtime files. See the VFPDEPLOY.DOC whitepaper in the TechnicalArticles folder of the VFP7 installation CD [or download].

Everything should work. However, 2 components will not have been altered unless you explicitly do it yourself. One is the VFP menu. If you Modify Menu, then your VFP6 menu gets converted to the new VFP7 menu format which now allows you to identify a BMP image with menu options. These menus can no longer be modified in VFP 6 unless you open the menu table file exclusively, modify the structure and delete the last 2 fields, sysres and resname.

The second is the database container. Once you enable DB events, the DBC can not be reverted back to VFP6.


>This is probably obvious, but I wanted to be sure. If I open my VFP6 project in VFP7, and select the Recompile All Files checkbox when I regenerate the EXE, have I now fully converted my app to VFP7, or did I merely generate an EXE that requires the VFP7 runtime? In other words, if I test this resulting EXE and all function work as expected, can I assume my code so far is completely compatible witht he slight behavioral changes in VFP7, and I can proceed with further development in VFP7, or is there more I need to do to ensure my app works in 7?
> Like I said, there is probably an obvious answer, but it seems too easy that it 'just works' and I want to be sure before I upgrade all of the client's workstations with the new runtimes.
