Anyone know of a single site that summarizes VFP 9/Vista

compatibility issues?

Thanks!

I've not seen one. Off the top of my head I remember 4 specific issues.

1) Forms inside the Screen or Top-Level forms have border issues

2) Built drop-downs (Combo-Box, Popup Menus) stay highlighted after mouse

over

3) 3rd Menu pop out was out there (no none workaround)

4) Virtualization issues when writing in "Program Files" folder structure

There's 2 workarounds for #1. Calvin demonstrated one on his blog. The other

is to redisplay the form during instantiation after the borderstyle is

changed.

For #2 the workaround is an API call, Calvin demonstrated it on his blog.

For #3 don't use menus 3 levels deep.

For #4 change your code to use the common appdata special folder.
