I know this has been covered extensively over the past couple of years, but I could not find any threads in my search and it has been a long time since I have been there.

I was contacted by a potential client who is still running some legacy FP 2.5 applications, and they are inquiring about what it will take to convert them to VFP. Their IT people are telling them to convert it to Access (groan) They have 5 users who are intimately familiar with the program, but are not really programmers. They do consider the application as mission critical.

As I recall, with the introduction of classes, methods, events, etc, the best practice was to completely rewrite the app so as to take advantage of improved functionality and newer features inherent in VFP, as well as compatibility with current operating systesm. My old experience with conversion wizards rarely produced anything but junk.

The little voice in my head tells me that this is still the case, and I guess I am looking here for confirmation before I start writing a proposal. My most recent work has been with Oracle, and I have been away from VFP for a year or so
