Hi Mike,

If it's actually running on the Mac, it can't be a Visual version. VFP on the Mac (3.0a) was so buggy that it's almost useless. The version that did a reasonable job was FoxPlus 2.5/2.5. That's where MicroSoft came in, bought Fox and made FoxPro 2.5. (DOS based on Mac interface) You can create code from either platform and it compiles code with commands based on the platform it's running on. Put app on a DOS floppy, and you can take it between machines.

If you have Mac Fox program and the app's source code is there, put code on a PC floppy and pop it in your Win machine. Create an app in VFP using the Mac code. As you compile each piece, you'll get errors and you can modify as needed.

The best person I know of is Ed Leafe. I haven't been to his site in a couple of years and it's not coming up for me. Maybe he or someone will jump in.

Good luck, you'll need it. Job will definitely be frustrating.

HTH
