I'm re-learning FoxPro (actually more like learning the first time) after 6
years. I've written a fairly simple prg that collects directory information
and displays it in a browse window. I would like to have this run as a stand
alone exe, more as a proof of concept than anythig else. I've created a
project named ("Check Assignments" and included the prg only. All cursors
and tables are created on the fly.

When I build the Win32 Exe I get no errors, but when I run the exe all I get
is a window with the project name in the title bar. Any action I take from
that menu returns an error of some sort (for instance "File-open" results in
"no registered documents available").

I'll be glad to send code to anyone that cares to look at it if necessary,
but I feel like I'm just missing something fundamental here.

Any help is appreciated.
Steve

Hi Steve,

Check out the READ EVENTS command.

Hi Steve,

Have you tried making your own menu?

For a nice simple example of an app head to www.takenote.com and find
"TakeNote BaseApp VFP Framework" which includes an app called Bruno's
Bowling Alley.

Read Events is definitely the wait to go, however you may want to set
ShowWindow=2. If you do this and add _screen.visible to your PRG you
will get nice Windows look without the default screen.


Hope this helps
Dan
