Visual dBASE 5.7 to dB2K Form Converter

Build: N/A

Scope: Many changes were made between the 16-bit releases of dBASE for Windows and Visual dBASE and the 32-bit releases that started with Visual dBASE 7.0 and culminated in dB2K. Some of these changes were so signficant that they made 16-bit Form classes difficult, if not impossible, to run comparably in the newer 32-bit environment. The source code streamed by the 16-bit products, although compatible, became outmoded with the 32-bit release. This converter generates (creates) new form files compatible withVisual dBASE 7.x and dB2K from your existing 16-bit form files.

Requirements: Visual dBASE 5.7 must be installed.
