I have several older DOS-only PC's which are running a mission critical FPD app for my company. I have several new PC's running Win95 on which I hope to design a VFP app to access the FPD tables.

What are the issues I need to worry about, so that I do not render the FPD tables unusable by FPD?

Should I create local (or remote) views, or is there any harm in using the FPD tables as "free" tables in the VFP project?

Also, when using FPD and VFP simulaneously to access the same FPD tables, are there complications with regard to record-locking?

Thanks,
Joel
