Now that's good to know!!!! I had been staying away from using V7 on a project just because of the menus (which I don't have to change) worrying that recompile all would mess them up anyway. The production system is still VFP6, with one of those policies to await the first service pack before upgrading.

Now I will happily use VFP7 and simply rebuild using 6 for production.
