Karen, I don't think you should expect a 6.5++ Windows application to run correctly under 7.1 without at least some minor tweaking. In particular, anything but the simplest form logic would need to be tested very carefully. Although RBTI has made a great effort to ensure compatibility between the old forms system and the new one, there's no disguising the fact that the new forms system is completely new work on their part. If your forms are simple, with no complex variable definitions, passing of data from and to columns using variables and playback files, EEPs which depend on field order or anything like that, you may get lucky. Also, check all the reports and labels. The code-only part of the application should be pretty stable, but it will all need to be run through testing. DOS-based commands that already looked pretty bad in RB Win 6.5 (WRITE, FILLIN) don't look any better in 7.1. Conversion isn't difficult, but is necessary for a 6.x to 7.x transition. -- Larry
