Ramon,

You only need to install the latest service pack. I believe the last service pack for VFP 6 is Service Pack 5.

This Miscosoft Visual FoxPro page lists the updates available for recent versions of VFP. Strangely, it's easy to find SP1 for versions 8.0 and 7.0 but doesn't seem to have SP's for 6.0, just some miscellaneous dowloads. Since VFP 6 has a reputation as being much more solid a product than versions 3, 4 or 5, strange that finding SP5 should be so hard... (forunately I have a copy downloaded a while back)

dbMark,
I downloaded mine just a week or two ago, and it was not that hard to find. The thing is, it is not called VFP 6.0 SP5, it is actually Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 5.0 and applies to the whole Visual Studio (now my VB also shows on the About screen version 6.0 SP 5.0).
The link to the download page is

To be exact, you don't have to download the whole Visual Studio SP, if you don't want to, they come bundled in 3 versions:

* Full: 133 MB
* Visual Basic: 59 MB
* Visual FoxPro, Visual Interdev, Visual J++: 74 MB
