Hi
There are a few, though I would not specify them as problems. Specificaly, if you have used SQL syntax, theer will be some changes and surprises.
A quick fire will be to add in your Main.PRG along with other SET codes..
SET ENGINEBEHAVIOUR 70
could solve many of the issues.

My company is currently upgrading to Visual Studio.NET 2002, and therefore to VFP 8.0.
A question, is VFP8.0 included in Visual Studio .NET 2002? I though it was taken out at VFP7.0? Did they put it back?

Algela,
I agree with Mike, there is no correlation between these two products. See for what's included in the three versions of VS .NET 2002. VFP 8.0 is a standalone product and not included in any of these.

Rick & Mike,
I have now found out off our technical support that, as you say, VFP 8.0 is not included in Visual Studio.NET 2002 - it was included in the build because it is the global corporate standard. It would appear that certain parties are trying to foist an upgrade on us by giving the impression that we have no choice. I now discover that if we have strong objections to VFP 8.0, then we are not required to upgrade (which I wasn't told at the start of the project - don't you love office politics!). However, from what I have gleaned off the web, it looks as if there shouldn't be too many problems - so we shall try out a few applications and see how it goes.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks guys, for that illuminating tips on VFP8's SQL command.
I was about to post a question on this issue when I saw this thread.
I've been using VFP8 for almost a month now. I thought this SQL problem was a bug. I never knew this was a sort of syntax change.
I'll try Ramani's solution.
