The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS
After you migrate a FoxBASE+ version 2.01 for the Macintosh screen to FoxPro 2.5 for Macintosh, generate the newly migrated screen, and then execute this new code, the error "Feature Not Available" will be displayed with the "MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN" command highlighted in the .SPR file.

CAUSE
The FoxBASE+/Mac Migration utility creates a FoxPro screen "in desktop" with the "System" characteristic. The "SYSTEM" clause is not a valid clause when modifying the FoxPro desktop, or "SCREEN".

RESOLUTION
To solve this problem, do the following:

1. Open the migrated screen.

2. From the Screen menu, choose Screen Layout.

3. Choose the Window Style button.

4. Change the window type from Desktop to another type (for example, User).

5. Change the type back to Desktop (if desired).

6. Generate the screen again by choosing Generate from the Program menu.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. From the Program menu, choose Do, and double-click FB+Migrate.App in the

FoxPro:Goodies:FB+Migrate folder. 2. Click the Convert Files button. 3. Select the FoxBase+/Mac:Tutorial:Checkbook:Forms folder as the Source

folder, and the FoxPro:Tutorial folder as the Destination folder. 4. Add RECONCILIATION.SCX to the Selected Files list. 5. Click the Convert button, and then the Done button.

6. In the command window, type the following:

MODIFY SCREEN \FoxPro\Tutorial\Reconciliation.scx 7. From the Program menu, choose Generate. Click the Generate button. 8. Close the screen.

9. From the Program menu, choose Do, and double-click RECONCILIATION.SPR in

the FoxPro:Tutorial folder. The error "Feature Not Available" will be displayed with the "MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN" command highlighted in the .SPR file. Additional reference words: FoxMac 2.50b convert transfer errmsg err msg KBCategory: kbprg kbprb KBSubcategory:
