As Sergey said, it works fine. I have FPW2.6, VFP6, VFP7 and VFP8 all installed and working fine. I can share tables as long as they don't have features that are missing in the lower version.

I don't know. Maybe someone else will have something to add.

There are some modifications to menus that will not allow you to recompile menus and still share with VFP6. Another thing you will run into is the more compliant SQL language. Specifically, if you have fields in the SELECT that aren't in the GROUP BY and aren't aggregate fields (SUM(), COUNT()) then VFP8 will give errors. However, you can use the IMHO sloppy SQL by adjusting the ENGINEBEHAVIOR setting.
For a better idea of things that have changed you would need to read the What's New in Help for both VFP7 and VFP8. You can also get a lot from the two "What's New" books from
