You can also try to work around this by toggling LockScreen just before the READ command for old READ code (like maybe in a READ WHEN or READ SHOW procedure)

_screen.activeform.lockscreen = .t.
_screen.activeform.lockscreen = .f.

In a converted form, you could add code as above to the formset ReadActivate(), before the RETURN statement.
