There are several reports in 5.6 and later that can not be modified and recompiled in 6.0 because they use VFP commands that don't exist in 6.0. You could write a work around for them, but that's time consumng and may require additional VFP knowledge. If you're not customizing reports, then 6.0 will work fine. Even if you are, it will work fine for a lot of reports. But if you do much at all in VFP, the advantage of 9.0 remembering your commands in the Command Window from previous VFP sessions is worth it.

If you're still using 6 with no problems, then I see no reason why anyone else would need to do otherwise.
