Mike, Now that I reflect again on this. Here's a little story.
I was setting up a build machine. Pulls code from Source Control, and builds the project. This build machine was putting the project on the larger D: and running the compile there. A customer with a new laptop that did not have a D: could not run the application because it could not find the D:. The error may have been a file not found error. It has been years. The project lives on the C: drive. The EXE when built goes into a different tree on the C: drive. I don't have this type of error. I see all the forms in the project live in the root with the pjx. Here's another thing that has happened to customers. The EXE was being run from a network drive. The user walks away from the computer for 20 or so minutes. When they return they get an error about a file missing. The network connection went to sleep. VFP tried to read a file in the EXE and it wasn't available. The error is about a missing form or classlib.

You may have the answer: it's definitely NOT the same folder tree...not even the same DRIVE! That makes a difference?!?? I figured it still had the defined form in its saved memory space and would use that!
