I don't know if the client I did the Fox 2.6->VFP 6.0 recompile for is still using their app, but it did serve their basic need at the time, as yours did for your company.

In another DOS->Windows case I did a complete rewrite for a client, which did take much longer but was far superior...I just used the original code as a guide. Only got to actually reuse maybe 5% of it...

Even if you succeed in building the tailor-made SCX files, I don't think you'll still have the full power of VFP OOP unless you recreate from scratch. Of course, it will be time-consuming.

I'll give this some more thought,
