>Just the same I'm doing - write a converter for your forms. I've had lots of trouble for additional procedures, until I found I can put them into form's methods; the hard part was finding how to have them registered in Reserved4 (or 3, I'm bad at remembering names). Also copying the dataenvironment, replacing the m.var or alias.field with control.value throughout the snippets... took me couple of months to do - but it's worth the while. You get your forms with all the code snippets moved into control's methods (where they can be put into standard methods, as they usually do) or into form's methods. Gives you a good start to get into refining this into real OOP.

Dragan,

Thanks for your reply. Is it too much to ask if you can share the conversion code? If it solves my problem I am willing to pay for it.
