>Converted 2.6 app (which runs very well in 2.6) has several screens that work well together. Have main screen with menu options that bring up more information (more screens) regarding a product. If a change is made on one of the 'child' screens have a variable 'editing=.t.' then when the user leaves that screen, the main screen disables most of the command buttons except the save and cancel. Since converting to Visual 5.0, if a change is made, upon returning to the main screen, it doesn't see that editing = .t. and does not disable the buttons or offer the enabled 'save' and 'cancel' buttons.


There is a lot involved in a conversion from 2.x to VFP. You are going to have to dig into the converted code and step through it to see whether things are happening like you think they are.

If it isn't too much trouble, I would suggest starting over with a new project. It will be worth it in the end. You can use the code/rules you have in your 2.x project, and have a much better product.
