Just reformatting, for better readability. Gotta watch those pre tags.

>I am presently maintaining an application based on the Mere Mortal Framework for vfp. The version of the framework is 6.1, which is a little behind in sequence. I would like to upgrade to vfp8 but I am hesitating since I don't know if there are problems running a 6.1 version of the framework code in vfp8. I put out a UT thread, targeted to MM developers, requesting information on upgrading to vfp8. I did get 1 return of a known problem. I was hoping to get more interest in the thread so I could migrate sooner. And... I recently started to dabble in the Mere Mortal Framework for .net and can’t afford 2 possible learning curves at this time. But, look whom I am complaining to. I doubt you ever sleep. I can’t imagine how you do what you do. If you could possibly point me to a vfp7 to vfp8 upgrade check list I would greatly appreciate it. Below please find my UT thread and a response from Chris.

>In Utility.prg, the CharValue() function chokes on TRANSFORM(tuExpression,"") because VFP 8 changed the behavior of TRANSFORM when operating on Objects. Insert an IF VARTYPE() argument and return the empty string for type Object, and all is well. This function gets called from the builders.
