You've changed a menu variable name here. Can't do that.

Where's the style name (2 places)?

Are those funny characters correct (many places)? Also, no \.

Invalid!

All invalid, and on and on it goes.

The converter is not perfect, but it doesn't make errors like these. Run your original v3 code one time, and then make any necessary fixes from there. Use the sample that comes in the download and the Quick Ref charts and samples on the main site as guides.

Need more help Jgillett

My conversion did some of the exact same things as your's did.



Just remove the GrayOrange text from the above, it should be down below in the styles area.


Here is where your GrayOrange should be:


As for the second style definition, I just deleted it as it doesn't make any sense at all (oncolor=14???). Everything worked ok without it.



I had the funny characters too. I replaced all of them with a comma. Strange that the comma character is misinterpreted.

As far as the rest goes, I'm not sure what the problem could be. But I did run into the problems listed above. Hope this helps.
