>>>I found a thread via the search that might help with this, but unfortunately, at least until my PUTM is active, I can no longer get to searched messages. I would like to know if anyone has written a utility to go from the FRX to a PRG and also, probably more importantly to me, from PRG to FRX? I did see one in the downloads for the first scenerio, but it wasn't very clean. I have not seen one for the second. I have a bunch of old reports to convert that were written using @Say and I was hoping to at least find something that would take the fields/variables and place them at the right place on the report form. Thanks!

>>I wrote a quite simple program to convert FRX to PRG. It still requires some manual tweaking after all, but you can use it as a template. I don't create an opposite conversion and I think, it would be à much more complicated task, though doable. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I could probably write something myself, but then I would want to keep going and polish it and then put it into the donwload sectin myself, and I just don't have the time if there is already something around.

Since you answered at the same time, I was doing my update of the message, the update got lost :) Anyway, I checked Downloads section here and there is nothing there to convert PRG to FRX. I believe this question was asked here before, but I don't remember specifics, so I don't know, what to search.

Anyway, the task seems to be complicated, but doable. Are you sure, you want to produce Report and not XML (HTML) instead, what might be easy in this situation?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
