Mike,<br>Unless the forms/reports are extremely complex - i.e. thousands of objects - you are looking at rebuild & recode in VB. I've did a couple of forms (one very complex) and a report for an app that I had in Pdx V7 but concluded it wasn't worthwhile to continue the conversion. A useful tip is : do an enumUIObjectProperties for the form/reports and then extract the size and positions of the objects. These can be useful in the new environment.<br>Padraig
