When I tried to run the original Upsizing Wiz against SQL 2012, it choked with a message about not being able to "set the SQL Server database to compatibility level 6.5". So when I remembered there was an enhanced version on VFPX, I figured that would resolve the problem. I got the latest release, installed it, and started stepping through the process.
But as soon as I selected the target database, I got the same dialog telling me it could not upsize without setting the compatibility level. Interestingly though, when I clicked out of the dialog box, it moved on and let me run the wizard ran to completion. It appears the upsizing process worked fine - the SQL tables were created, and the data was transferred as specified.
Which is a good thing, because I don't think it's even been possible to set compatibility to level 6.5 in versions of SQL Server since 2005. So using the revised wizard appears to be a valid workaround, but it would be nice not to have to click past that dialog.

Hi Stein.
I'm not sure the dialog is even necessary at all. I'm going to remove attempts to change the compatibility level in the next release so this dialog won't appear.
