Is this 2.6 or 3.0? If 2.6, you'll have to open each screen in the FoxPro Development environment on the Mac, to invoke the transporter. This will put a second copy of the screen definitions in the .SCX file, specific to the Mac. There are a ton of drawbacks with this; here are a few: 1) you can't have snippets that contain code, only function calls. This is because the code would be duplicated for each environment, and you would have to make code changes in each environment to make them work. 2) any time you make a change in one environment, in the nature of adding, removing, or resizing a control, you have to make the same change in all other environments. 3) the physical size of each .SCX file will double, so will the physical size of the .SPR file. --
