Sergey,

Hi. I tried it. I get:
Error 1964 No PageFrame or Page is found in FormSet or Form

PROCEDURE FRSMAINMENU1.MENUSCRN.PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.COMMAND8.VALID F:\MYCODE

I know that the converter creates that wacky pageframe and page thing. I don't really understand this thing which I think is called a 'read compatibility layer????

Any suggestions? It seems like I would need to manually put in a pageframe and page, seems crazy, or, figure out a different way for the modal mainmenu form to be replaced by the form that it calls.

I don't know if it would work or not so make sure that you've a backup copy of your formset. Only the first one is important (Read). The rest you can set from the property sheet.

It appears to have been created directly in vfp - and the window type is modal. This form (as well as any other new vfp forms I create) do not have read modal or read as a window type choice.

>>All the forms are called from a 'main menu form' with command buttons. When you click a command button/menu choice, the read forms pop up 'IN PLACE OF' the main menu form. However, when you click menu choice for the new(er) form, it pops up on top of and separate from the main menu form.

>>The client likes the way that the read forms replace the main menu form. They want me to make the new(er) form do the same. How can I get a new vfp form to be a read form? Is that what makes it behave such that it replaces the instead of pops up over the main menu form?
