>> I don't know of any reason his VFP6 app wouldn't run just fine on VFP9.<<
In general I would agree, but having done a fair number of these I don't see this as an automatic. There are lots of reasons a VFP 6 app won't run the same or without new errors under VFP 9: 1) SQL engine changes (see SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR). 2) Report rendering because of GDI+ causes truncation and overflow (see SET REPORTBEHAVIOR). 3) Integration of Fox Foundation Classes (FFC) and example code. 4) Different behaving VFP functions (array functions are biggest issues in my experience, especially AFIELDS()). 5) New runtimes to deliver, might not be trivial depending on the seats you deliver and how you deploy changes. I would give it a try, but a full system test is recommended.
