There is the possibility to convert dB DOS forms to dB WIN forms by starting the converter which is delivered within your dB WIN Pack. There you can choose something like FRM to WFM

No, but you should be able to run the .DFM in dBASE 5.0 for Windows as a
program. Modifications, if any are necessary, should be minimal. But you
are right, there is no means to translate a DOS version Form into a
Windows version Form such that it can be used as a Two-Way Tool object as
are native dBASE for Windows Forms.

What are the specific problems you are having?
