>I have not lost any source, either (you can rest assured my hand is knocking on my head right now) and I also have code still sitting around from FPD and FPW projects, but manure happens and, worst case scenario, you might find yourself needing ReFox. As I mentioned, in 18 years of Fox-based work, I've only needed it once. I was glad to have it that one time, however.

I keep the source backed up as well -- in several places and in a fire-proof safe. But I have used Refox to decompile my exe to recover a form that was corrupted by VFP (the last time this happened was in VFP7). I was in a develop code, build and test cycle and occasionally after the build the form is corrupted (fails to build the exe). Having the ability to recover from the last good exe saved me from not loosing a day's work (I back up daily). It is very frusterating to work all day and then loose you work due to a corrupted scx/sct file set (or a vcx/vct).
