Go into Environment options in D6, choose the designer tab, & uncheck "New forms as text".
The help on this says: Toggles the format in which form files are saved. The form files in your project can be saved in one of two formats: binary or text. Text files can be modified more easily by other tools and managed by a version control system. Binary files are backward compatible with earlier versions of the product. (You can override this setting on individual forms by right-clicking and checking or unchecking the Text DFM command.) <== that's the other way for an existing form.

I note that the D6 .frm files are text based while the D4 ones are binary streams - anyone know of a way to either translate them or otherwise load them into D4 ?
