>Is there a simple way to convert either a report form's layout data, as held in the forms actual .frx/.frt data files produced using the visual 3.0 report designer tool, into the layout data as held in the .frx/.frt data files used by the 2.6 report designer tool? > >I need to be able to have reports designed originally under 3.0 also be run and "redesignable" under 2.6; say we do not have to bite the bullet and do the whole job over from scratch in 2.6. > >Aaaaahhh! I hope there is a way. BTW: whoever heard of "downgrading" while everyone else is busily "upgrading" :))) There are plenty of suggestions in the UT data basse for going from 2.6 to 3.0 and 5.0 but I have not found any for going the other way. Hope y'll can help. > >TIA. /psb. Hi! Try that: Modify the structure of the report and remove the user field. Also, delete the expr field in the first record. Finally, remove the records for the data environment. They should be at the very end of the table. Just look at the name field and you should bhe able to tell what they are used for. Then you need to copy the file to FP2x format. I think that should do the trick. Otherwise, feel free to ask again. Greetings Markus
