it ws, just that I don't know how the actual conversion is done: just install 2033 and open the application? will the conversion happen immediately or I have to go trhough a process?

Thanks!

Start with a BackUp. Then try it and find out.

[ciocioiuc]

I did and I get numerous errors. One is the missing refernce to comdlg32.ocx...any ideas?

[RuralGuy]

Did you let it convert or did you *import* the older version?

[ciocioiuc]

I let it convert
By the way..can you please telll me what this means:
"Error loading ActiveX control 'ctlCommDlg' on form or report "FormName"

Maybe make sure reference to ActiveX Data Objects library is set to latest version.

[ciocioiuc]

...need to specify that ctlCommDlg is an ActiveX control

[ciocioiuc]

it worked
THANKS
