I'm converting the FPD reports quite regularly, and I remember having that error when I had a wrong setting in the _transport variable; as far as I've read, this should be empty (it's C:\VFP\TOOLS\CONVERT\TRANSPRT.PRG in my case, but I think it actually doesn't care) and the _converter="C:\VFP\CONVERT.APP". Both variables should be checked in the help file, I got this to work with a little experimenting.

A friendly word of warning to those who convert DOS reports - pick smaller font size for converting; try 8 first, specially if you've had condensed lines to fit 132 columns on A4/letter, otherwise they'll go far right and you'll have trouble getting them. Quick remedy is to set your paper size to something wide and move them back, but then you have to tweak it a lot to get them to fit. Setting a smaller font size in the first place is far less hassle.
