Got this old legacy VFP6 application, my description, it is a hodge-podge
of old 2.6 code, VFP6 forms and reports. All modifications etc. are made
using VFP6.
Was working on a form today and needed a temp table, the old select
whatever from whatever into cursor whatever readwrite would not work. For
grins I took an original VFP6 form and modified under VFP9, including a
select * from into cursor whatever readwrite saved under a different name
and called it from the program and the form runs!
Well, I think you must not only have modified the VFP 6 form in VFP 9, you
must also be running it in VFP 9, or the READWRITE keyword would not work.
Assuming you continue to use VFP 9, you get a bazillion improvements to
reporting, much expanded SQL capabilities, wayyyy higher limits on memory
issues, variable counts, array sizes, etc., and a whole heckuva lot fewer
serious, crash-inducing, data-and-metadata-corrupting bugs. Plus
Intellisense! Well, almost all of those things are good. :)
