Bill,
It's been a while, but I believe when you open a DOS report in FoxPro for Windows, it &quot;transports&quot; it for cross-platform support. That is, it creates records for both platforms in the same .FRX file. I believe you need to open the .FRX as a table and delete all the DOS platform records BEFORE you try to convert it in VFP. e.g.

USE fpw_rpt.frx exclusive
*browse
delete all for platform="DOS"
pack
USE

Obviously the normal warnings about working on backup copies of these files apply.
