Don't use 6.0 features. Other than that, you should have compatible code.Laura Brody Sent from my Galaxy

George and I had talked about me helping him and he was going toprovide guidance but sadly that never happened before his passing.  Acomplicating factor is George was on FilePro 5.0 and I guess there arepotential conflicts if I use the 6.0 version that I will have to watch outfor.Jeff Bandle----- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------     This list is probably your most valuable ally.  I'm sure we would allbe willing to help out if you run into a filePro problem you can't figureout.  If it turns into a big problem, several of us are independentprogrammers who can be hired to help you fix it.      I also do filePro training classes.  I'm doing most of the trainingvirtually now, so can include you in one of my sessions.       Or, if you let me know where you live, I can probably get you in on oneof my on-site training classes.  (The classes are usually at one individualcompany, but some of them have allowed me to invite "strangers" in.Depending on the Covid situation, I may be doing training in Phoenix, AZ andCourtland, NY this year.)     You might want to try to buy a copy of Stuart Werner's fileProDevelopers Reference.  (I just tried to bring up the STN.com web site, butwas unable to.  I hope STN is not out of business...)       George's library may already have a copy of the reference, even if itis an older edition.  (The last edition only covered version 5 of filePro.)     I've acquired a couple of the older filePro printed manuals.  They onlycover filePro through version 4.1, but I still find the programming info andexamples invaluable.  Again, George's library may have a copy.       I might be persuaded to send you one of my copies of the filePro manualif you can't find one elsewhere.     You might want to look for issues of the old newsletters that John Esakput out.  I have some of these newsletters, but I am in the process ofmoving and they are packed in boxes in my storage unit right now.       I sure wish I could get a complete set of the old Esak newsletters.  Iwould love to have a complete set.  If anybody has a set and if John Esakwould give permission to scan them in, I would pay the neighbor kid to scanthem in and create PDF's for me...       You can also contact Laura Brody to see if she still has the old"filePro Goddess" journals.  There were only a few of those, but they had alot of good filePro tips and tricks in them.Hope that helps!Mike Schwartz               _______________________________________________Filepro-list mailing listFilepro-list at lists.celestial.comSubscribe/Unsubscribe/Subscription Changeshttp://mailman.celestial.com/mailman/listinfo/filepro-list
