VFP9 SP2 on WIN10 Report Form problem

I have had an application running on a clients stand-alone PC for six years. I upgraded my development machine to WIN-10 last November, have made a few modifications to the clients code, compiled it, and delivered it to her with no problems since the upgrade. She recently asked me to create a new report for her. I start the report with the Report Wizard, save it, then modify it to her specs. When creating this new report, the wizard does its thing, then allows me to save it. However when I try to modify the report, I get a dialog box that says, "Visual FoxPro Converter - Do you want to convert the report newreport.frx to latest Visual FoxPro Format? [Continue] [Cancel] [Help]" Selecting Help brings up help about the dialog box, Cancel, of course cancels the operation, and Continue closes the dialog box and appears to do nothing. I can still modify any other report that was created before upgrading to WIN-10. I also notice that two additional files were created with the same name and time stamp with .f2t and .f2x extensions along with the .FRT and .FRX files. Deleting these two files and attempting to modify the report again doesn't change anything, however they are re-created with the original time stamp.

Any ideas?
 
Which version of VFP are you using? Forget that question...[censored]

IIRC there is a catch with files starting with prefix "new".

Bye, Olaf.


 
Do you generally use the wizards? The wizards may be helpful but added bloated code in other scenarios so I don't use them and can't help here. Have you tried MODIFY REPORT {PathFileName} ? It's more hands on but in most cases it reduces side issues.
 
What was your previous version of Windows? Could this be your first exposure to UAC?
 
dbMark - thanks! I always used the wizard to create the initial report to get all the fields(117) in, then modified it. I tried creating one with MODI REPO and it worked! The same thing was happening when trying to create labels with the wizard!

Thanks for the help!
 
danfreeman - Was using Win7 prior to 10 (skipped the 8.x completely). Never had any problems with UAC.
