I haven't been able to find much regarding VFP on Windows 11 so I assume there are no major issues. Anyone know of any problems with running VFP desktop apps on Windows 11?

Thanks, Carl.

I haven't seen any differences between Windows 11 and Windows 10 in my applications... it's basically an unchanged environment as far as desktop applications are concerned.

So far, my VFP9 Desktop App is working without issue on Win11.

I just wanted to add to this link.

Converted a VFP7 app to VFP9. SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 80

We are having issues with reports that are designed as landscape. The reports are cleaned. Report field expr has only.. ORIENTATION=1 PAPERSIZE=1 PAPERLENGTH=2794 PAPERWIDTH=2159 COLOR=2

The issue is on windows 11 only. When you issue the REPORT FORM command with TO PRINTER PROMPT, The Windows dialog does not say Landscape but defaults to the default in the printer which is PORTRAIT.

Not sure why the Windows dialog is not being changed to landscape. If you just print it prints PORTRAIT as expected. If you change to landscape, it prints landscape as expected.

I have not resolved this issue.

Revision 04/18/2023 Problem seems to be with Windows 11 (11 22H2). New print dialog introduced. Found this solution option. https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/restore-legacy-print-dialog-windows-11/

Hey Carl, I've used VFP on Windows 11, and it seems to work pretty smoothly. Most compatibility issues have been ironed out. Just make sure your apps are updated and keep an eye on any specific dependencies. Here's a guide about updating windows. You should be good to go!

Carl, I can tell you I am still on Windows 10 for development so compiling is done in Windows 10. My desktop is running on many Windows 11 workstations both via RDP (RemoteApp) and not. Hundreds of users, app contains about every possibility you can imagine including lots of COM servers, etc. I have no issues. John
