Hi Cetin,

the way you are referring to the form names means they won't be pulled in to the project.

I created a new project called c:\temp\test.pjx

I then created a c:\temp\main.prg with the following code:

DO FORM c:\temp\form1
DO FORM ("c:\temp\form2")

I set Main.prg as the main program, created two forms (form1 and form2 in c:\temp) and built the project.

Form1 got pulled in to the project, form2 did not, because the () means VFP things there is some expansion to be done on what is between the brackets.

I created a new project, just put the main.prg in it and rebuild the project. Guess what. All those new (relatively) forms are missing from the project!!! Worse a lot more than old reports are missing etc.

>>Not to any consolation, but the exact same scenario works fine here. E.g. we have doForm function as part of MereMortals framework. All classes are included in the project. There is a metafile, which is either getting re-created from the project file (in debug mode, where you have debug.txt file present), or using existed file. The special setup program sets procedure to all functions included into the project and classlib to all libraries included into the project. Then DoForm works fine.
