| Hi ktl:
I have not heard of any problems running VFP 5.0 on a Windows 2003 server.
However, VFP 5.0 is not longer supported by Microsoft, so it may or may not
work properly.
Have you considered moving to VFP 9.0? Visual FoxPro 9.0 does run on
Windows 2003 Server, and I don't think a conversion to VFP 9.0 is any more
difficult than a conversion to VFP 5.0.
The difficulty of a conversion depends on what the underlying code does.
Sometimes you are better off to simply rewrite the app in VFP 9.0 than to
struggle with a conversion and still have "old style" code.
I hope this helps.
