>I'm converting an SCO-Fox app to VFP6 and there are 80+ reports in FRM files. They can be converted to FRX/FRT files by opening them individually, but I'd like to automate this process. The built-in conversion routine doesn't work if you use "Modify Report XXX" programmatically - I was planning to work through them in turn, keyboarding the required responses.

The convert app is located in the TOOLS\CONVERT directory off the main VFP program directorty.

The main program is CONVERT.PRG and allows one to specify a program and type as an input parameter.

I uses ADIR() and a loop and a modified version of CONVERT to convert all my screens; maybe it will handle your reports (CONVERT does make reference to UNIX).

You could even try including all the reports in a project and try to convert the project as a whole. It's easy to include a lot of programs into a project using a file of EXTERNALs.
