Caroline,

>I've been using VF7 for some time now but have recently been asked by an existing client to create a new import/data manipulation program for an existing VF6 application.

Any chance this app is seperate enough to just be written in 7?

>I really don't relish going back and writing the whole app in the VF6 IDE and was hoping that I could create it in VF7 and when done open the project in VF6 and compile it to a EXE for distribution at their site.

You should also make sure that you don't use any functions or baseclasses that were added in 7.
