You can't develop VFP8 on Windows 98. The runtime is supported on Windows 98. I have 3 production apps compiled in VFP8 running on Windows 95. As long as you don't use any of the language features requiring the services of the later operating systems, your app will still run.

>>>Interesting. We're still using VFP6, though. We'll be moving to VFP7 soon (hopefully), and possibly soon after up to 8, so I'll keep that in mind. For now, I'm trying out setting the method (in this case, the INIT() method) to be Protected, so that the INIT() code won't be accidentally hidden. Instead, I created Pre_Init() and Post_Init() hooks. So far, that doesn't seem to cause any problems.
