Still confused. I am doing a "modi repo" already in my code. That is when I get the "wrong parameters were passed to the converter message". How will putting "modi report" in a loop change anything? BTW, what does ctrl-w do?

>>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?
