How to Convert .fdl to .fsl

[opaluser]

One of my Paradox form designs (.fsl) has become corrupt and can no longer be opened. The delivered version (.fdl) still works OK but I want to upgrade from V4.5 to V9. Since I originally wrote the OPAL for this form in 1998, I don't want to re-write again - in fact, I probably couldn't remember all of it anyway!!

Since the delivered version of the form still works, is there any way to convert / copy it to the design version? Alternatively, is there any way to extract the OPAL code from the delivered version??

Any advice would be gratefully received.

You cannot get an .fsl from an .fdl

You cannot extract the OPAL from and .fdl either.

Use your backup copy. Which you do have, right?

If not, you have to create from scratch.
