>My application has an external prg file that is used to execute a complex SET FILTER TO statement. I have a menu item to execute the prg as in DO SPECIAL_FILTERS. This works fine in the development environment, but in the runtime environment I get a 'file SPECIAL_FILTERS.PRG does not exist' error. This same error occurs if I include the full path to the file as in DO 'c:\program files\myapp\SPECIAL_FILTERS'. The file is definately there. Why can't the application see it?

There are several solutions to running a PRG from within a compiled
application.

If you are running an older version of VFP, you can use Randy Pearson's
CodeBlck.PRG which will effectively run an uncompiled PRG.

With newer versions of VFP, you can use the COMPILE Command.
