I have a project with a few free tables and only a couple of forms. When I open a prticular form to edit it, I am taken straight into the LOAD method of the form, which displays ok and then VFP locks solid.
CTRL, ALT DEL reveals VFP not responding.
Should I re-install VFP or is this an identifiable bug?
Thanks in advance

Hi Keith

Open up the project.. then in the VFP menu.. choose the project and click on CLEANUP PROJECT.
In all probability, your project is having some problem and VFP could fix it, if you do the cleaning.

Then start the project and try modifying the form. :-)

Thanks for the help
Mike - There is no set step in the project
Ramani - Tried Clean up but file still causing machine to lock up
 
An additional problem is now happening
When I build the project - it is reporting that it is unable to locate a particular var.
The var is nowhere in the project.
Should I join hands with someone and contact a Medium?

At this point it will probably be quicker to create a new project rather than try and find what's wrong with the existing one.

If the problem repeats itself, then you'll need to get digging.

Hi Keith,

In addition to Chris's advice to create a new project, you might also try to delete the form that is causing the problem, and to create it again.

Since the problem occurs when you open the form, it is most likely the form that is corrupt. But re-creating the project is also a good idea.

Thanks all - I have remade the screen and the project is running OK now. It`s a bit frustrating but the code in the new version of the screen is a lot neater than the original, so all is well again.
Once again thanks again for the help.
