Karen, I would be very careful of using code from 4.5 in 9.0. eXtreme 9.0 is less forgiving in how the code is written. You will be doing a lot of testing and rewritting. Depending on the code, the question is when do you start over?
If I remember, correctly, and sometimes that is difficult, most of the previous conversation on forms indicated it was better to redo the forms than to transfer. Just food for thought...
