Opening Screen in VFP7 compiled .exe 1

[hoffmanhoward]

I am using a form as my "opening menu" when I compile my programs using the wizard I can not get my "Opening menu"
to display on opening automatically. I have to either use the "quick menu" or file-open. and when I do open it is not maximized. How do I correct this.

I also noticed that when I veiw my reports in the "compiled" .exe they are also not in a maximized window.

any suggestions..please

Thanks

Is your opening form "Top-Level"? Is it Modal? Do you have a READ EVENTS in your main program? Are you hiding the Screen? Does your application use a Resource File (FOXUSER.DBF)?

WHen I "check" top level and compile many of my other forms do not run when I click on them. When I check "normal" and compile all forms run. I don't know why this is happening.

I guess this is the first problem to solve. any suggestions ??

Hi Mike,

I went to the FAQ you suggested and tried it

but I did something wrong because I don't really understand
the language

my form is called "payroll"

Please advise what I have to change..I already did some replacing but I got error messages it didn't like
.caption what goes before the "." (sorry but I don't understand what I have to do)

oRepForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form&quot
WITH oRepForm
.Caption = "My report Title"
.WindowState = 2 **This will maximize the form
.Show()
ENDWITH
REPORT FORM myReport.frx PREVIEW WINDOW (oRepForm.Name)
oRepForm.Release()

oRepForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
WITH oRepForm
 .Caption = "My report Title"
 .WindowState = 2  
 .Show()
ENDWITH
REPORT FORM myReport.frx PREVIEW WINDOW (oRepForm.Name)
oRepForm.Release()

Nothing goes before the ".", it should run as is. I took out the "**This will maximize the form"
