dialog editor reverse compatibility

[Kevin]

I was trying to edit a dialog created with an older version of qm but latest version of qm does not find dialog procedure.Is there a way to fix this? or must i recreate the entire dialog procedure using #sub DlgProc?

Does not find when dialog definition is in other function than dialog procedure. Most old dialogs probably have them in the same function. For others, move dialog definition (BEGIN DIALOG...END DIALOG...DIALOG EDITOR...) to the function where is the dialog procedure. Or use #sub DlgProc.

procedure and definitions are in same function already

Probably some code is not standard, and QM fails to parse.
