Thanks Mark. I rather expected it would work, and other than the database, was not really worried about any other components, since they would be completely separate. Not having done it before though, there is always that fear of the unknown / undiscovered. I did not remember reading about any binary incompatibilities, but tossing it out here always gives me a reality check.

Appreciate the feedback.

>You can just do not enable DBCEvents on the DBC. Also, if you have to use the Menu Designer to modify a menu, open the .MNX file exclusively after you are done and delete the last 2 fields [sysres and resname] IF you need to go back to a menu version prior to VFP 7.

Do this testing with a test database as well. Once successful and you know the old [those not yet replaced]and new components work, deploy to production system.
