Sometimes even CLOSE ALL, RELEASE ALL and CLEAR ALL won't even do
it. VFP's ability to clean itself up reliably deteriorated with each
release from VFP 7 to VFP 9. And in my experience, the problem is
worst with VFP 9 on Win 7.
I do not know about it getting worse since I tend to use only a
small part of VFP, but sometimes, VFP gets messed up in some
way. This happens during debugging which is just when I want it to
be resettable.
It is the main reason why my programming utilities that I use
with VFP are not written in VFP. If things are going wrong, I can
not trust VFP to do what I want. It is usually fine, but when it is
not, it is a bother.
It takes me ten seconds to shut down and restart VFP. That doesn't
seem like much of a problem to me. If you're expecting to have, and
keep, a bunch of stuff open in VFP while compiling a project, that's
not a realistic expectation. VFP can't compile properly with
anything that the project needs still in memory. That includes VFP
base classes that are used by something you have open that isn't
part of the project you're compiling.
That is not my situation, but I still run into a bit of trouble.
I have a simple .prg that I thought should reset things, but
sometimes, it does not. I have not considered it worth the trouble
to dig into exactly why it throws an error when it does. I have
found that cancelling and rerunning does work.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
