Hi Tracy,
Those wouldn't apply to me here because this is all done on my Dev
machine (dev and testing). Legacy core project files are on
c:\wsapps\bwd but my MBSS additions come from e:\dev\client\....
Again, the strange thing is that this works AT THE CLIENT SITE where my
e:\dev folder doesn't exist at all.

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.
HTH,
Tracy

Is there a SET PATH in your app config?

Hi wOOdy!
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!

Hi Mike,
Maybe, when compiling the EXE you are not saving tot he project folder? Always
(!) save your exe to the project-root folder.
Next idea: When calling the form, use the relative pathing to that
form: i.e. DO FORM forms\myform.scx

Betreff: SCX form included in EXE is not found on DO FORM line
VFP9SP2 - Win 7 Pro
43 second demo showing the problem:
https://www.screencast.com/t/ZjyWYqFI
The SCX form is included in the EXE. I'm running the EXE. DO FORM <formname>
errors saying that the form is not found. Makes no sense to me. Now the app (a
legacy app that I inherited which is very dirty) changes the path but still....if the
SCX form is included in the EXE, why in the world would it not be found on DO FORM
frmMyForm???????
tia,
