TITLE   :FIX: TRANSPRT.PRG Gives Wrong Message Converting dBASE Report
PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro
PROD/VER:2.60
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbprg kbprint kbtool kb3rdparty kbfixlist kbbuglist

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you issue a REPORT FORM command using a dBASE IV report (FMT file) to
PRINT, PREVIEW, or FILE, the TRANSPRT.PRG file first attempts to transport
the file into a FoxPro format. Upon reaching 100%, the conversion is
cancelled and a wait window appears that reads:

   You must modify this dBASE IV file through the Catalog Manager.

Or when you try to use REPORT FORM with a DBASE III report, you receive an
message from the Converter that reads:

   Convert FoxBASE+ report file to FoxPro 2.5 format?

Both these error messages are incorrect.

RESOLUTION
==========

The "You must modify this dBASE IV file through the Catalog Manager"
messages is incomplete. To convert the file to an FRX, open the file from
within Catalog Manager or choose Convert dBASE files from the RUN menu.

The "Convert FoxBASE+ report file to FoxPro 2.5 format?" message is
incorrect because it is a dBASE III report file, not FoxBASE+.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.60 for
Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows.
