Mike,

I have run into this error only once and it happened for a client using an 
existing utility app which I wrote years ago and has been working ever since. 
The only difference was she went home when the COVID shutdowns started and 
began running the application across a VPN connection. I don't normally 
recommend doing that any way, but because it a conversion process which picks 
up files and converts them and then writes the output to a local folder and it 
creates all temp files locally, I didn't have too much concern about it. 

However, it turned out she was also connecting to her VPN via her WIFI 
connection at home and at some point after the application loaded, but before 
she clicked on a button to start a process, either her WIFI or VPN dropped out 
for a split second and it returned the Form Not Found message. Shutting down 
the VFP app and restarting the app solved the problem and everything worked 
fine the second time. As far as I know if it happens again, she just restarts 
once her VPN/WIFI signal stabilizes, and it works fine for her. 

I know that is not a permanent fix for most applications but it works for this 
little utility she runs once every two weeks. I don't know if that provides any 
additional clues or not but I thought I would at least document what we saw 
earlier this year.

Subject: 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,
--Mike
