I agree. MS attitude seems to be that since you've given them money for the new version, you are now obligated to spend more money converting all your old code to the new version (it's good for the economy).

Actually, I say that a bit tongue in cheek. I converted a couple of apps recently - one a fair size, and the other a not so fair size, and in both cases they took only a little more than a recompile.

>>Steve, according to the VFP8 EULA, (there was a major thread on this a while back), you can only keep both versions if it's not an upgrade to VFP8. If it is, you are required to delete the version upgraded from. Having an MSDN also allows keeping all versions on the system.
