When you perform a functional conversion, it converts the FoxPro 2.6 screen into a READ-Compatible formset that has a pageframe and one page. The pageframe is necessary for some of the backwards-compatible stuff needed when doing a functional conversion. Deleting the pageframe can only be done after the form has been converted from a READ-Compatible formset to a true Visual FoxPro form.

>>>>When converting a screen from FP 2.6 to VFP 5.0 and chosing the functional option of conversion it automatically creates a pageframe for the screen which I would like to get rid of. Is there a way to delete that page frame and keep the objects within that container so the screen will be as if I had built it in VFP 5.0 without creating a PageFrame at all?

>>>Well, I'm not sure what you mean by functional option of conversion but you can select the page you want to get rid of in the PEM sheet and cut and paste the controls to your form with the mouse. But that would only be the "form" half of a form vs function reality.
