That Error Msg above in the Subject (the WTF was not actually thrown by VFP)
- it KEEPS happening when I try to compile this App. FYI - I'm building an
EXE. At the Very End of trying to build the EXE - it gives me this error.
But, of course, the Error doesn't mean anything - and it doesn't give me
anymore hint as to what the Error is - with nothing specific about it in the
Error Log.
Its making Impossible to properly get work done - since - at this point -
when I get the Error - I know it doesn't create the EXE correctly (as I just
found it DOES create an EXE - but, it comes up with Nasty Errors when I just
tried to run it). And, I end up trying to close everything down in my
current VFP session. Then Re-Opening the Proj - the Re-compiling the EXE.
But, of course, that's NUTS - and is WASTING a Lot of time! Sometimes - even
THAT does not work - and I completely Get out of VFP - then go back in - and
finally I can compile correctly. But, again - LOTS of wasted time.
First, VFP won't be able to compile an app unless all of its components
have been removed from memory. VFP doesn't do that very well on its own
just because you've ended an editing session with some file. If you're
compiling a complex project you need to either issue RELEASE ALL and CLEAR
ALL before compiling, or do as I do--shut down VFP and restart it in order
to compile with a clean slate.
Second, "File is not open" usually occurs as a result of corruption to a
report file or, less often, an scx form, when you try to save it after
editing. If you get that error under those circumstances, you have lost all
the edits you've made since the last save and you have no option but to
close the file without saving.
I haven't seen it in the context of compiling an application but if it
still occurs after you've followed the above steps to ensure that nothing
remains in memory before compiling, then I would guess you have a corrupted
file.
