Wow - that truly is a Wild Arse Guess. Not that I don't appreciate the feedback - since I definitely do.
When I open the Form - and run it - is that what you would consider "Compiled"? AFAIK - the only compiling was generation of like an APP or an EXE file. So, just not sure what you mean. Again - the effective fix seems to be a Manual Edit of the Properties field. Is there some way to "Simulate" this "Manual Edit" - to force things to work right??? It just seems so strange what is going on... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracy Pearson Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 12:54 PM Kurt wrote on 2013-01-16: > ...So, I'm now trying to create my own inhouse tool to automate the > process of converting our system from PRG's to (in my case) Forms (SCX). > > > I created this Basic Form that has a Dummy Title.
