    IP2003 form is missing some IP2010 controls when opened in IP2010 Design mode

    I have a form that was originally designed in IP2003. I now have IP2010 and was making some updates to the form when I noticed that some of the controls available in IP2010 are not available notably Combo Box, Multiple-Selection List Box, Person/Group Picker etc. I've checked a few places online and it looks pretty involved converting an IP2003 to IP2010. Is this what I need to do to get these controls for this form or is there something else? If I have convert the form is there a set of instructions you would suggest? I'm completely green when it comes to code but can follow good instructions.

    So - your form has code in it? If it does not, you can just save as a different format to move it to IP 2010. If you don't know if it has code, I can help you find out. :)

    Thank you for your response. I built most this form a few years ago and got a lot of help through these forums I honestly don't recall if some of that help included the addition of some special code or not. I would be grateful for your help in determining that. Also when you say "save in a different format" what exactly does that mean?

    From the file menu, select Save As and then in the Save As dialog, you can select the form compatibility. You can also change this under the Form Options > Compatibility.

    You can save the form as source files from the Publish menu and check the source files for any script or compiled DLL files to determine if a form has code.

    Fantastic! Thank you! I didn't find any evidence of code and the Save As thing worked.
