The primary app using the VFP 7 table will remain in VFP7 but I have decided to move mine to VFP8. We won't go into production until the end of May and there may be more information available by then. I suspect that any errors that do show up will appear (to the client at least) to be caused by VFP8 and/or my application but I can handle the flak <g> and who knows, maybe we'll be able to fix the problem once and for all.
