Hi Jack, I feel your pain. I think this is a Windows issue as I've had this kind of form corruption happen in earlier versions of VFP.
Silly question but do you have a testing environment where you can run your exe through its paces when you are ready to deploy a new build? I know this is Monday morning quarterbacking but some kind of pre-deployment testing script would at least give you advance warning in the future. rk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jack Skelley Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 10:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VFP9 SP2: Losing Method Code Good Morning All: Saturday was a bleak day for my real time stats app in VFP9 in a game against the Boston Bruins. The program did not initialize because the method that selects the players for the game was not in the compiled program. Since no players could be selected the program did not run. All of the items that were sent to me as possible remedies to the missing code were tried and obviously did not work. In my applications I have an email function that sends the error report(s) to me. So Saturday evening I received 60+ emails with what was wrong. The only saving item of all of this is I leave the previous version of the app on the drive and the team statistician knows what it is and was able to get the program operational for the game using the previous version. So this morning I launched VFP9 and opened the SCX as a table and found the method with the missing code. Then I opened the form and instead of seeing the objects it opened to a method. I closed that method and where the code should have been for the player selection was empty. So here is my question: How does the form open to a method instead of the objects? (I am sure I close all of the methods before I close the form) Since this was 'open' did this cause some of the code in other methods to disappear? I did have this method open to check the array subscripts but was sure I closed it. Could this be a drive caching error where the info is not written back to the SCT? I am losing confidence quickly.

But can't tell if any issues until one exists. Sounds crazy but this app has 37 forms with many objects and methods.<< There is a simpler way to pack all the source code in the project. Select Rebuild Project and Recompile All Files before building the project. VFP will pack all the SCX, VCX, FRX, LBX, MNX, PJX, and DBC files in the project. Note, I am still recommend you wipe the ObjCode column manually for the problem form.
