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 <report file name> 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 <report name> 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.
