I suggest that you are really just going to have to run a trial conversion test and let the app itself reveal what did not work through testing.

Under certain conditions the table join clause (in 3.0 was stored in the WHERE section) would cause VFP 7.0 to either just bail or C00005 error when used. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out that on some views I had to move the join to the "Join" section of the view ????
