Generating Screens in Fox Pro 2.6 1

After designing several screens I have been unable to generate them. When I go to Generate in the Program Menu it is grayed out each time. Am I missing something essential? Any help is appreciated.
 
When you go to the Top Menu | Program | Generate which Foxpro desktop window is Active (title bar Blue)?

If your new screen is Open in your Foxpro desktop, but not Active, the Generate will be visible but "grayed out". Look to see if your Command window or another non-screen window has its title bar Blue.

Use your mouse to click into the new screen's window (turning the screen window's title bar Blue) prior to going to Generate.

Good Luck,

Jrbbldr,

I forgot to mention that I was working in the DOS version of FOXPRO. As far as I know the window is active and generate is still grayed out.
 
Try the command CLOSE ALL before opening your screens, just in case.
 
Check to make sure that you are "pointing" at a valid GenScrn. Try:
?_genscrn
If it doesn't return a valid path to GENSCRN.PRG, you won't be able to generate an .SPR file.

I always include an explict reference in my CONFIG.FP file. e.g.:
_GENSCRN="L:\APPS\FPD26\GENSCRN.PRG"
