Mary-Ann,

>Cindy recommends changing the colorsource to 4 for that 'record'. I don't really understand that. I just ran into another instance in the same application, but in this case the error comes up when I try to open the Form in the Project. I can't open the .scx so how can I change the colorsource? What 'RECORD' is it refering to?

Think of it as "brain surgery". You can do it, but you just want to be careful where you snip.

First, make a backup copy of your form .SCX and .SCT files. Then

USE YourForm.scx
BROWSE

and find the record number referenced in the error. Then find the field Properties and look in the Memo. You will see ColorSource = __. Change this number to 4 and save. Close the .scx table. Should work.

Alternatively, if you have many forms to convert, John Koziol suggested this in another older message I found:

Go to the VFP98\Tools\Convert directory. Open up the Convert project and click to edit Convert.PRG. About line 4662 you see a line that says:

THIS.Add40Property("ColorSource","0","")

Comment out this line and recompile the application. Now reconvert. ColorSource will now be ignored.
