Seems like it is possible. I do realize I'd get a little more syntax
checking with VFP6 and a lot more with VFP9, but I am more used to the text
manipulation in vscode. Maybe I am just dreaming!

Anybody have any idea why it is so much slower in VFP9?

I think it is a very useful tool, but I also agree that, in reality, it is
more like a sophisticated search engine than anything else. I wear a lot of
hats, and I also often switch languages. I find copilot and chatGPT useful
for switching gears and getting boilerplate code started.

Stephen if you didn't do it already you probably need to find the
config.nt file (or whatever it is called now) and change it to read
files=99. the default under xp is files=33 or something like that
which would let foxpro dos run but you'd get errors as soon as you
