vfp 8.0 menu error

i have a Visual FoxPro 8.0 app that works perfectly on
computer 1. i copied the source code to a second pc and
now I am getting errors like this "procedure _2b231j80 not
found" when clicking on menu choices. searching for this
procedure i found it in the menu files.

so i copied over new versions of the menu files - mnx,
mpr, etc - recompiled everything and it worked fine for a
bit. but now the errors have started again. help!

Did you build an APP? An EXE? Did you use InstallShield
to install it on PC #2? There is more to distributing
a VFP application than copying some files onto the target
machine. With more detail, we may be able to see what
step(s) you skipped.

hi tim,

as i mentioned in my original email, i am not distributing
the app. i simply copied the source code - project files,
prgs, scxs, mnx, etc, etc. to the second computer. on the
new computer i am trying to run the code by running
main.prg. of course i have checked to make sure the file
attributes haven't been mistakenly set to readonly or
archive or something like that occasionally happens..

thanks,

n.

Sorry, it wasn't clear that you had moved your
entire development environment to a new machine and
are trying to develop it there now.

Here are a few things to check:

1) Same version of VFP installed on both machines (including SP)

2) The *entire* development environment is copied to the new PC.

3) Ideally, the files are copied to the same folder as on
the original PC. This avoids errors caused by hard-coded
paths in your code.

4) The database(s) used on the original machine are placed
on the new machine - ideally at the same location.

Nancy,

This is an answer on a similar one by Jim Saunders - Microsoft

Hope it helps

_______________Quote from the UT_____________________________
We had a somewhat similar support case where it turned out the MPR file
contained a chr(26), which is an end of file marker, in the middle of the
file. Any procs after that character could not be found. It took us a while
to pin this one down.

file, IF it is, step through invoking the menu bar that calls procedure
_2b231j80 and figure out why it isn't in scope.
