Ken - U may have hit on something. Originally when my problems started yesterday - it was actually problems with some VCX. What a headache that was. I scrambled around on the server here looking for another copy of the VCX in question - since VFP was claiming something was missing - and tied to that VCX. I finally found a VCX that solved the problem. But, then later - I started getting this OTHER Problem. So - maybe it was Due to that VCX issue. Even so - I still have no Permanent solution.
And - yeah - I now have 2 instances of VFP open. The on - I work on the screens there. The OTHER One - That is where I have the project open - and where I compile the EXE. After compiling - I then run the EXE from another Windows Explorer window... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Dibble Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 2:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: WTF???

You've probably tested something, then opened a .prg class library and attempted to edit the code, and received a message "Remove [something] from memory?" This stuff is all supposed to be out of memory when whatever you tested reaches the end of its stack on the way out. And it certainly should not be in memory if what you tested concludes with the "big three": CLOSE ALL CLEAR ALL RELEASE ALL. But this happens anyway. And I think that issue is related to why stuff won't compile until you issue those commands and sometimes not even then. Folks are right about using a separate instance of VFP to compile or debug. The reason I don't do that is because I get "access denied" if I have a project open in the first instance that the second instance tries to open again. (I know, I know, I should set my VFP IDE preferences to multi-user... Old habits die hard.)
