Thanks for the replies. Because of the large quantity of menu options in my original application,
I decided to opt for a new application file with calls to the revised "pre-Rbase 7" application
file per Hartmut's suggestion.
Something isn't working for me. I am getting the error, "Error- Not a run procedue (567)" when
I try to execute the menu options in the new .rba application linking back to the modified .apx
Here's what I've done. I will use my first action for illustration purposes.
My original .app is PROPMAN
1) Edited PROPMAN and removed all code prior to first desired action
2) Inserted into PROPMAN before the first desired action
&Command
Act01
.......
3) Inserted into PROPMAN after the first desired action
Return
4) Codelock the PROPMAN.app into PROPMAN.apx
5) Created .rba using Application Designer
6) First Action in the new .rba is ACT01 and is a Custom Action
It is:
RUN act01 IN Propman.apx
RETURN
It appears as RUNAct01.$$$
when viewing Action 01. If I edit the Custom action it
reads correctly as indicated above in this item.
Any thoughts as to why I am getting the "Error - Not a Run Procedure"?
Other Actions in the .rba go directly to .rmd files and work fine.
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Ed,
I have converted my big 6.5 app's to 7.6 by making single actions from
each vpick, such as:
&COMMAND
act01
....
RETURN
for all CASE and pack it together in a new app. In the rba you only run
the action from the apx:
RUN act01 IN test.apx
RETURN
It works faster, because the rba's are small without the code. And you
can better read the code at all in an app-file as in the single menu
items of the rba.

In most cases it is not a very difficult; you should be able to create a main menu form then cut and paste most the code into your form from your application.
