Dennis, I haven't read the other responses to your question yet to see if anyone else has offered this, but for my money, I'd forget conversion and just write from scratch. I even prefer this method when moving from 6.5 to 7.6.
There are just so, so many things you can do in 7.6 that the time you spend fussing with the conversion of an older form is just wasted time.

Where can I find the most complete document on the forms/reports conversion process? 2. Taking the 1st step of converting from DOS to 2000, the fields in a dos region are still on the form, but not on the tiered region that was created. I tried dragging them there but that didn't work. What is the least labor intensive way to fix this kind of thing? Thanks Dennis McGrath
