>1. Converted a few reports and have found that in some cases, the "controls/fields" on the right hand side of the report were either cut off or all together missing. Upon further investigation, (using the xxxxx.frx file and browsing) it was determined that the controls/fields were not missing, but the HPOS value was larger than the report itself. Short of manually editing each HPOS, any ideas on how to correct/prevent this?

Repeat the conversion using smaller font. I've found out that some of the 132 char stuff (or more) converts fine using Arial Narrow.

>2. Converted a few screens (visual) and have found that the OptionGrpoup control generates an "Color Resource error". Thru trial and error we found that deleting the "ColorSource = n" property of the object corrected the problem (again using the xxxxx.scx, followed by browse). Any way to convert a screen withhout manually correcting the Properties records?

You could find the code in the converter app (source is shipped with VFP) and find where it converts the RadioButtons to an OptionGroup, and simply comment out the conversion of colours for them.

>Any solutions will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Well, Alejandro Sosa is working on a screen converter (FPD 2.x scx to 5.0 scx), and I know he's made some progress already. You may join in, maybe some beta will already work for you. I'm only assisting him in some details, so you better call him directly.
