PRB: "No Records Found" Error While Converting a Report in VFP (158403)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q158403

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.
