If Only!

Actually, I just had a weird experience with about a dozen forms in one of
my databases:

For some reason they suddenly decided that they were not really v6.5++ forms
and wanted me to convert them to the latest (available <g>) version. 3 or 4
were originally from the Dos version but in name only having been completely
reconstructed and the others were originally constructed in v6.5++.

So I did the conversion - as there was no way into the form without doing
so - and that lost me part of the formatting of the fields and EEP data. Not
good!

Anybody have any experience of this happening or any idea why it might
happen?

Luckily I had a backup that didn't seem to have the problem but it was my
oldest backup - I don't keep too far back as things change so much that it's
not (usually) worth it. Perhaps now it a good time to write a procedure that
unloads each form (and reports) to individual files rather than rely on the
reloads and backups that I already do.

Regards,
Alastair.
