Hi Mark,

Here is very simple example how you can do this automaticaly.

**************************************************
*-- Class: pjhConvertMNU (project_hook.vcx)
*-- ParentClass: projecthook
*-- BaseClass: projecthook
*-- Zeitstempel: 06/21/99 12:55:06 PM
*
DEFINE CLASS pjhconvertmnu AS projecthook


Height = 22
Width = 23
Name = "pjhconvertmnu"

*-- saves the filename of all modified menues
DIMENSION iaopenedmenues[1]


PROCEDURE QueryModifyFile
LPARAMETERS oFile, cClassName

LOCAL lcFileName, lnCount
lcFileName = oFile.Name && Name of the file which is opened now

*
* check if the file is a menu and if it is not registered yet
*
IF UPPER(JUSTEXT(lcFileName)) = "MNX" AND ASCAN(this.iaOpenedMenues, lcFileName) = 0
lnCount = ALEN(this.iaOpenedMenues)
IF NOT (lnCount = 1 AND VARTYPE(this.iaOpenedMenues[1]) = "L")
DIMENSION this.iaOpenedMenues[lnCount + 1]
lnCount = lnCount + 1
ENDIF
this.iaOpenedMenues[lnCount] = lcFileName
ENDIF
ENDPROC


PROCEDURE Destroy
IF ALEN(this.iaOpenedMenues) >= 1 AND NOT VARTYPE(this.iaOpenedMenues[1]) = "L"
LOCAL lnI

FOR lnI = 1 TO ALEN(this.iaOpenedMenues)
USE (this.iaOpenedMenues[lnI]) ALIAS tmpMenu EXCLUSIVE
=AFIELDS(laFileStructure)
IF laFileStructure[22, 1] = "LOCATION" AND ;
laFileStructure[22, 3] = 2

*
* we have a menu in VFP 6 fileformat, so we modify this menu
*
WAIT CLEAR
WAIT WINDOW "Menu " + this.iaOpenedMenues[lnI] + " is converted to VFP 5!" NOWAIT
alter table tmpMenu alter column location N(1)
ENDIF
USE IN tmpMenu
ENDFOR
WAIT CLEAR
WAIT WINDOW "Updating of all menues is complete!" NOWAIT
ENDIF
ENDPROC


ENDDEFINE
*
*-- EndDefine: pjhsetdefaults

>>yourmenu.mnx (VFP 5 file-format) --> you can open it in VFP 5 and VFP 6
