The combination of VFP6, 'Program too large', and multiple procedure files with
procedures moving back and forth makes me very nervous.
It's obvious that this is a large program, with large code files, and I'd have
a lot more confidence in VFP9 to handle the details correctly than in VFP6.
Also, moving procs back and forth between files gives you lots of opportunities
to screw up by having different versions of the same procedure in different
procedure files. Note that if the same proc name is in two files, the last one
named in a 'set procedure to' is the one that gets executed, unless you say 'do
ProcName in FileName'.
Note that if you replace the proc file (i.e., xxx.prg) and an xxx.fxp still
exists, it won't automatically get recompiled. Are you sure you rebuilt the
project each time you moved a proc?
Try running the pgm in VFP9 and see what happens.
