<<I develop/maintain a large app written in FPW2.6 using the Codebook 2.6 framework. I want to try to create a VFP Codebook based application using live, current 2.6 tables (in VFP views) that are simultaneously used by the 2.6 application.>>

Hi Gary,

A colleague and I did this with no problems. Only differences being that the FPW2.6 app was not written in CB and we upgraded one module of it to VFP3.0 (using CB). The client is still currently using the 2.6 app and the VFP3.0 CodeBook app simultaneously with (knock on wood) no problems. Because the 2.6 app was not in CB we had to abandon the newId() function and generate unique id's the hard way. So, the long and short of it is: yes, it's possible and no, I don't know of any pitfalls.
