Default FoxBase+ to VFP 9.0 - 02-19-2005 , 05:44 PM






I have an old (obvious) project that was written in FoxBase+.

How do I upgrade the project to VFP 9.0?

Or do I have to do a full rewrite?

All ideas/suggestions welcomed by a newbie in database application but an
expert in computer and other applications.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Your #1 best bet is to re-write and use your existing app as a highly detailed
blue print (pseduo code) for the VFP version.

your code *may* run as is; as long as it doesn't use any .BIN modules but you'll
have to tweak some code here & there.

Don't even bother with the "upgrade wizard" -- you'll spend more time "fixing"
it than redoing it.

Note: That's 3 ways -- rewrite, recompile, "upgrade wizard"
