I'm going to try this. I am in the process of converting literally hundreds of FPD26 reports to VFP7. We were not given a choice--they do not want any mods made in FPD26 anylonger.
Thanks Dragan-I'll let you know.

>Haven't tried, really. It's the old and proven converter code which got delivered with each version of Fox since 2.0 or so, and it's only been tweaked to accomodate for various format changes, but it basically just runs. It would probably run from FPD2.0 if you tried. The age of the code can be judged by the amount of @ get commands and the occurrence of alias->field notation. At least it doesn't write "and" as ".and." :).

What you'd get is a report with widths recalculated to cram 132 columns to 8" of paper, and which would require Arial Narrow to be present. Your old DOS report would be saved as a f2x/f2t pair AFAIR (just backup first...).
