I wrote a program in 2.6 that uses reports.
I then decided to see if I could wruite same program in 6.0
I copied my 2.6 files to a new location and then did a conversion in v6.0
However, now, when I run the old 2.6 I get this. I have not wished to compound the error and so have clicked OK.

Anybody brave out there?
 
Well, once they have been converted to VFP 6 (or maybe even 3 or higher, I'm not sure), they won't be recognized by 2.x any more. Just like if you were to modify a table structure in VFP and then try to use it in 2.x. Fox just don't recognize it as a 2.x and thinks it is a previous version. That's why it asks if you want to convert it.
As long as you don't do a MODIFY REPORT using VFP, it will remain usable by both 2.x and VFP.
So if you need to modify it and run it with both versions, I would suggest you make your changes using the earliest version.
