Hi Tore,

SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 is a nice short-term fix. I don't use VFP 8 (still with VFP7) and I'm wondering, Is there a tool to help us find in a project the SQL constructs that do not follow the ANSI constructs?

>no big gotchas that I can remember. However, you should use SET ENGINEBAHAVIOR 70 only to check your queries. VFP7 and earlier version did not follow the ANSI standard, VFP8 does. So SET ENGINEBEHAIOR 70 was introduced as an emergency short time fix. I strongly suggest that you correct your queries to run without SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70.

The only other thing I found is that all the grids now need to be 1 or 2 points wider in order to stop that annoying left shift of all the columns when you hit left on the far left column and the cursor jumps to the right column. This is minior however.
