Hi -

My first time in a user group, please be gentle with me.

Have been using Fox since before MS bought it.

Using FPW 2.6, running under W98 v2, 128 meg mem, we always get a
startup error: "Foxprow - An error has occured in your program,
etc.," with 2 box choices: "Ignore" or "Cancel".

Sometimes choosing "Ignore" will cause system to hang and reboot is
necessary.

On my Dell notebook, W2000 OS, Foxpro 2.6 will not run at all.

3 questions:

1. Can this problem be fixed for FoxproW 2.6?

2. If we upgrade to a newer version of Foxpro, but keep the Win98 and
Win2000 OS machines, what version will run under both OS's, and can we
use our Fox source programs as presently written?

3. Is the command language still similar?

Thank you.

Bill W

You have to patch the exe and esl files. Look in the archives. If
you don't find anything, email me.

The code will (hopefully) run, the forms you will have to change.
Be prepared for a major rewrite however, VFP is a different animal.
Many postings here have dealt with the conversion from 2.6 to 3.0 and
beyond.

generally do things differently. So a rewrite is probably the best
way, if not the only way.

We were all newbie's once.
