>>I have a Foxpro 2.6 project with about 100 screens which I am converting to Visual 3.0B. I keep getting a "line too long" error as which point the conversion process stops. I have to manually convert the 2.6 screen to use shorter text lines and then start all over again. Are there any utilities or fixes to the conversion code which would help me.

I was afraid that might be might be the case. As usual, it's best to do it right the first time rather that kludging things together. What I have are screens in which a lot of help text is embedded. Any suggestions on help systems that work with VFP? I see Blue Sky's RoboHelp Plus advertised a lot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
