As for your first suggestion, to programatically open each report. I am confused. How would I programmatically open each report? My code is "modify report rname". That is when I get the converter error message. How else would I open the report to convert? I think you are suggesting running a one time conversion program, but what would be the code in the conversion program?

Researching your second suggestion to patch the convertor source code.

Thanks - Brenda

>>Converting from vfp 2.6 to vfp 5.0. My clients have several hundred (thousand?) reports. If the code does a "modify report rname" in the application, the VFP message "The wrong parameters were passed to the converter. To convert files, open them from the File menu." I understand the message, but opening all the reports in VFP is not really an option. What other options do I have?
