Welcome and Good Morning (at least in my part of the world) Depending upon what you mean by porting to VFP 7. Any error messages when you attempt to open the project with VFP 7? And VFP 9 shouldn't have any problems opening the forms, I transfer back and forth between VFP 6 and VFP 9 just about every day... Assuming some sort of familiarity with the original project would it be possible to rebuild by starting with the "main" program? Regards, Desmond
