Hey Alan,

Thanks for your feedback. And, I think you hit on the reason that worked
for me Way Back When. I suspect that back then I had been doing screen
designs - even in FoxPro for DOS. And, the problem here is - they built
ALL their screens - even going WAY back in time - all based upon @
Say/Get's. So, that Transport option obviously isn't a possibility. 

Although, your other comment did touch on the other issue. In that they
do color setting through out the whole systems. Maybe I could simply do
a new set of color settings within an existing system - and also do a
global switch of the Font that is used - and maybe that would allow it
to look like a more modern system - without having to re-build the
entire system!

Thanks again,
-K-

When you open a screen defined in FoxPro for DOS in FoxPro for Windows,
you get a 'Transport' dialog that creates FPW metadata in the SCX file.
By default the converted FPW version of the screen will be black
controls on white forms. If you then converted that to VFP using the
same process you would end up with a VFP version with the same black on
white look.

If your VFP7 version still looks like the DOS colours then you probably
have SET COLOR SET / SET COLOR OF SCHEME commands in there somewhere.
