Hi Hs:

Noticed you had no reponses, so here's my point of view: We are in the final stages of migrating a large (150,00+ lines of code) app from FP-DOS to VFP, and all of the conversions I have ever done with the Wizards from DOS to Windows or VFP have all been more trouble than they were worth to clean up afterwards. Unless you have some really simple report forms, IMHO you are much better off just printing a sample for reference from your FP-DOS app, then using the report designer to build it from scratch in VFP. That way you get the fonts and spacing the way you think is best in Windows, and don't end up having to move stuff around and change settings all over the place to make it look and behave like you had in DOS but under Windows. In every case we tried, we spent more time cleaning up the converted file (report or screen form) than it would have taken to just do it from scratch in VFP (or even FPW when were were doing that).

If you have a large number of reports, I know you won't like to hear that, but I think its the best approach in the long run.

HTH
