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.
