R&R for DOS to R&R Windows v.2

Let me start by saying I don^t know much about R&R. I have a Fox for Dos 2.5 program that currently calls reports created in R&R Report Writer for DOS v.5. Fox uses a command something like ^Run/0 runtime rrunin 5^ to do this. I need to convert to R&R Report Writer for Windows v.2 so the reports will print in Windows 2000 Professional. (They won^t print now that the person upgraded from Win98 to 2000).____Anyway, my question is, do I need to change the Fox program to call the reports differently for R&R for Windows? I understand I don^t HAVE to convert the old R&R library to actually run the reports, but should I? In the Windows version of R&R can I use the existing ^rrunin.dbf^ or do I need to use the ^rrwrunin.dbf^? Do I need to use the RRWRUN.exe in any way? I^m trying to avoid having to edit the Fox for Dos program if possible.____Any help would be appreciated.

The Windows equivalent command line would be:__rrwrun rrunin 5____You can use the same control file.____Note that the current version of R&R for Windows is 10 which is over 10 years newer that the Version 2 that you are trying use.____Kathleen__R&R Support
