I have recenly converted more than 500,000 lines of code i.e. screen, forms, programs, tables, etc.
The method I used was the mininal method as defined by a support person at FoxPro/Microsoft.
I can still develop in FoxPro 2.6 and compile and run in either mode Visual or 2.6.
About the only gotcha was setting the Strictdate in Visual to off or 0, and couple other minor checks in the startup program to check which version I am running.
I am about to move this to production. Has anyone else had experience with this conversion method. This seems to give me the best of both worlds in that I have been programming in the 16 bit version since FoxPro existed and about 40 year of programming experience with many other languages.
