>It sounds like you're using a Format file .FMT. This is the equivelant to a FORM in VFP. You'll probably need to create a form based on the layout of the current dBase IV format file. I think that the SET FORMAT TO command is still available, so you "might" be able to SET FORMAT TO (dbase format file) and then call the edit command, but this should be considered a very temporary work around.

Frederic,

Quick and dirty, keep your current format file and SET FORMAT TO (the file). Youll want to convert the format file into a form as soon as possible, but to move forward in your testing, that's the command you need to use otherwise the EDIT command defaults to a CHANGE or BROWSE view depending on what was done last.

I can't make any guarantees on what it will look like, but it "should" work for you temporarily to at least get the code to start working under FoxPro. You've got a lot of work ahead of you to convert it from procedural to OOP. If you just want to get into the Fox enviornment, you might take a look at FoxPro 2.6 for Windows. It's still a procedural language, and is more along the lines of what you're used to from dBase.

HTH,
