Hi Floyd,

I just recompiled a FP2.6DOS application in VFP7 with no problems. I just took the existing code and added a new main program that called the old main program. Granted it looks like dog doo, but runs pretty well and the user's employees don't need to be retrained as the interface hasn't changed a bit.

Here's what I had to do in my new calling program to make things work:
WITH _screen
	.FontName='courier new'
	.fontsize=8
	.height=350
	.width=560
	.AutoCenter=.T.
ENDWITH

SET STRICTDATE TO 0

SET SYSMENU TO 
DEACTIVATE WINDOW standard

_screen.Visible=.T.
	 
CD C:\STANFOX\
SET PATH TO C:\STANFOX\source
do c:\stanfox\source\stanfox.prg
And of course I had to
SET STRICTDATE TO 0
to re-compile it without errors.

Good luck!

Hugh
