It does sound very doable.. Remember macros were more actively used before the dawn of Push Fields, Window Open, and actions such as those.. All that the converter does is look at things like that and converts them to corresponding AL actions..

If a set field or push field cannot, I’ll be surprised if you cannot do it with a Direct SQL, although that is the least preferred way to go, given other choices.. Sometimes that’s the only plausible choice.. Joe From: Mayfield, Andy L.

Two Run Macro actions cannot be converted: · When you use the query bar inside the macro and: o Field names and field labels on the current form are different. o You use field IDs not on the current form as a parameter inside the query. · Any action involving logging in. My MACRO appears to match request id’s from two different forms. I may have to find a way to rebuild the functionality from scratch. Or just do away with that functionality altogether (-: Thanks, Andy L.
