Need help building an .exe

[dduva]

When I build an .exe I get an error saying file does not exist on the read events line. Can anyone help? Here's my code in my main:

set default to f:\pro50\custom\coinconnection

do form testformexecute.scx
read events
quit



Thank you in advance.

VFP is probaby not able to find testformexecute.scx when you are building your exe.

If testformexecute.scx is in the directory f:\pro50\custom\coinconnection, you should issue the following before you build your exe:

SET PATH TO SET('PATH') + ", f:\pro50\custom\coinconnection"

and then build your exe.

HI

1. If the error is while running the executable...
Probably, the data files referred in the forms DataEnvironment is not in the same directory. So you have to set path for that data tables to be made available.

2. If the error is while you are compiling...
do form testformexecute
read events
** Note I have removed the .scx. Once the comiplation is done, the executable holds what it wants and you dont specify the .extension.

3. In your main.prg, it is always advisable to set the path in the following way.
****************************************
PUBLIC gcHomeDirectory, gcDataPath

gcHomeDirectory = JUSTPATH(SYS(16,0))
SET DEFAULT TO (gcHomeDirectory)

** If DATA is the directory which holds the DATA tables
** within your default directory... then...
gcDataPath = "DATA\"
SET PATH TO SET("PATH&quot+";"+gcDataPath
****************************************
The above steps will be helpful when you shift the application to a different directory and then work on a later date.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you very much. Taking the .scx off worked.
