>>I was responding to the idea that people were being "pushed" to use the newer versions and I visualized someone thinking they were "pushed" from VFP6 or VFP7 to VFP8. As far as being "pushed" to discontinue DOS, well, to me it's like leaving the "dark ages."

I don't have FP2D anymore so I can't try, but in XP it should if you play with "compatibility mode". Basically you right click on the file and there is a tab for compatibility under Properties. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong and they tried FPDOS with different results.
