Hi Dragan,

Try re-compiling the form. If the form isn't re-compiled you'll get that message. Since you were probably using Foxtools for the JustExt() function, the old compiled code doesn't have a token for it, and therefore can't find the function. VFP 6.0 can run 5.0 code without re-compiling but references to old foxtools functions won't be found since the functions no longer exist in the libary and no token exists in the compiled code.

hth,
George
