    Has anyone done this without redefining the forms from scratch as Lawson suggests? We moved our 8.03 forms to lsf9 and opened them with the 9.0 designer then saved them. We found some AGS calls that needed to be changed in the xml code, otherwise it appears to work. We are having a problem with a date string.

      Hi Joe, I have moved quite a few forms from 8.0.3 to LSF9; can't say I've seen any issues like that one..

        Have you seen migrated DS detail screens chopped off on the right and bottom because the screens are no longer [I think this is the correct verbage] "relative" sizing.  I really would like to know if I have to re-do all of my screens to shift things around - like Lawson claims I have to do.

          Yes, they get chopped off, and you have to manually go back and re-do them.

            I have a question:
            We are starting our move to 9.0 env Only we will be running 8.0.3 Apps for awhile.
            So do we need a new version of DS for 9.0 ?
            So the design studio will need to be converted via a migration tool ?. like (ProcessFlow)

              Yes, you will need DS 9.0, and yes, your existing mods will need to be migrated.

                Some of the screen BUTTONS Ie RELEASE Changed
                to a Drop Down. 
                We just copied the xml to the new LSF9 directory
                Is the something else we have to DO?

                  There is a section on the migration process ("Migrating Forms and Scripts Created in Release 3.x") in the Design Studio User Guide.
                  To run the migration utility:
