Kevin:
I'm surprised Equis doesn't have this solved yet. Below is a description of
the problem and the workaround from October from Bill Forman, Equis's
customer support manager.
> "The two [identified upgrade problem] circumstances are:
>
> 1) You have FMLVar() calls in formulas and they are calling formulas below
> the formula they exist in. This will cause a crash. Any formulas called
> in the list above the formula with Fmlvar() will not have a problem.
>
> 2) You have formulas that have more than 1000 characters AND leading
> spaces in the formula. This will cause corruption of the specific
> formula.

> 7.0. Export the formulas containing FMLvar() calls from 6.5x and then
> import them into 7.0 and the file will successfully upgrade.
>
> If you have leading spaces in your formulas, they need to be removed

> The fixed CD will handle both of these instances by doing two loops

> Fmlvar()calls and removing the leading spaces. It will then go back
> through the file and upgrade the formulas with Fmlvar() calls. In this
> way, the formulas needed by the Fmlvar() calls will already be upgraded.

> So, you may want to wait for the new CD or you can use this convoluted
> workaround. I don't know how long it will take to get the new CD."

I just installed Meta Pro 7.0 over 6.52 EOD.
Now how is it you get around the problem of FmlVar in Experts, Explorations,
etc.
