>I would like to start using VFP8 a) to get used to it, and b) to take advantage of some of the new development features. If I develop any VFP6 or 7 projects in VFP8 (as long as I don't use any new commands or functions), then recompile back in the original version, are there any known problems?

Back-forth worked for me. I think you wouldn't have problems (sometimes it's hard to beat desire to use new-enhanced functions:)
