I had some funny problem with my foxpro program. I had a simple form and I had intergrated it into a project. When I build the project in exe format, everything was fine. I can see the exe file.
But when I click on the exe file to run it. Instead of showing me the form, the form just appear and dissapear in just a few miliseconds. When I try to run the form from foxpro, it's running fine.
You need to put VFP into a wait tate when you run the EXE. In your startup program just add
READ EVENTS
immediately after the command to run the form.
Impoirtant: In the exit of your menu, or the form if you don't use a menu, ensure you have a CLEAR EVENTS to cancel the wait state and allow your exe to shut down.
You will find all the details in the Help File if you are unsure of this.
