The app was originally a vfp 2.6. When I double click in explorer on the frx, vfp asks if i want to convert. If I say yes, it converts correctly. It uses the convert that ships with vfp 5.0 (i put an assert .f. and it stops in the debugger). The same converter is called when I modi report in code, however the converter does not like the parameters that VFP has passed. I am currently changing a copy of converter to do a onetime conversion.

I do not understand why vfp 2.6 has to have a conversion for frx files. my client has hundreds. Any ideas what is going on?

>I'm not sure at all what converter is involved here. Are you using FPDOS reports? I have a FPWin2.6 app that was simply recompiled under VFP5 to convert it. The reports were not altered at all and they work fine. But the code doesn't do a modi repo anywhere it just does REPORT FORM.

>>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?
