VFP5 under XP pro

Running XP pro: When I run a VFP5 program in interpetive mode, it works fine. But when I compile into .exe, it does not respond

Does XP require a later version of VFP?

VFP5 should run in XP provided the XP box doesn't have too much memory.

Be aware that VFP5 is now *three* versions outdated, soon to be four. It's
probably best to run it in an operating system that existed when it was
released. For best results in today's operating systems, use today's version
(VFP8, SP1).

Does this exe respond under other versions of Windows?

Hi:

What do you mean by "it does not respond?" Do you see the exe running in
Task Manager? Do you get any kind of error?

See if these articles help?

If you fail to includ the READ EVENTS command you would get approximately
this behaviour, since the Foxpro IDE keeps the application alive.
