In theory, code written for older versions of dBASE is forwards compatible with newer versions of dBASE.  In practice, a lot depends on the actual code.  Some people have no problems, others have to do some re-coding.  The only way to be sure is to run the actual code using the newer version of dBASE. As an example, the original version of dBASE 2019 had major problems with displaying formatted entryfields.  If your applications didn't need this feature they ran correctly.  If you used the feature you applications were virtually useless.  Fortunately this was corrected very quickly and the latest version is relatively bug-free. I obviously can't speak for them but it is highly unlikely that dBase LLC will sell anything except the latest version of dBASE 2019.  An upgrade licence will cost you $399. Mervyn.
