Hey, with a little tweaking it worked!!!! Here's what I did:

1. First of all, my VFP report was simple; no VFP exclusive features (DE) were implemented.
2. From VFP, USE myreport.frx, then COPY TO rptdata TYPE FOX2X
3. In FPW 2.6, MODIFY REPORT newrepo and save it with nothing in it (This is to create an empty .FRX structure)
4. USE newrepo.frx and ZAP it.
5. APPEND FROM rptdata (VFP report records)
6. BROWSE and delete any records with no data in the UNIQUEID field and PACK
7. MODIFY REPORT newrepo

Bingo!
