>>I've got someone that have problems with data. The application was made with FoxPro for Windows. I wonder if there's a chance I'll be able to fix this (reindex tables and other maintenance) with VFP or will I have to install FoxPro for Windows?

>If you open a FP 2.x table in VFP, you must copy to a new table with TYPE FOX2X. If you do not, the table will not be usable from FP 2.x. Copying with type FOX2X will create a table that can be used by both FoxPro and Visual FoxPro.

Just opening a table in VFP does not effect it's usage in FPW. You can even modify the structure, as long as you do NOT add any fields of datatypes that are only supported in VFP, like DATETIME, CURRENCY, INTEGER, etc..
