SYMPTOMS
The following problem arises when a user attempts to convert a Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Mactintosh report to Visual FoxPro 3.0b Windows. When the MODIFY REPORT is entered in the Command window and the user is attempting to open a Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Mactintosh report, the user is prompted with the following dialog box:

Do you want to convert the report to Visual FoxPro 3.0 format?

Continue Cancel Help

After the user clicks Continue, the conversion appears to begin. However, the message "No Records for current platform!" appears.



CAUSE
Since Visual FoxPro 3.0 for the Macintosh was developed after Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows, it contains a later version of the Convert.app file. When a report from another platform is opened (that is, Macintosh), the Visual FoxPro system memory variable _CONVERTER is invoked and it calls Convert.app.



WORKAROUND
To work around the problem, copy the Convert.app file from the Visual FoxPro for Macintosh folder to the Visual FoxPro for Windows folder.
