Wow John, I didn't think it was that tough - just factual.

It is a fact that without changing my production applications from working exactly as they should (ie., stop using Automation), they wont run in VFP7. The application isn't using some illegal sytnax that VFP6 allowed and VFP7 will not. Its just that VFP7 doesn't work with Outlook, using automation, when you try to move an e-mail from one folder to another.

Now, this is a pretty basic requirement for my particlar application, not some esoteric bit of weirdness tantamount to bad coding on my part that could be easily re-written. I just can't re-write the Fox code to get around the automation problem and nor do I want to. VFP7 should do this for me - you know, just work as advertised, plain and simple.
