Thanks for using GoFish.

Are you running it from the GoFish.prg startup prg in the project? If so, the problem is that you are using GoFish to search the GoFish project, and it's trying to search the very same SCX file that you are running, so it can't open the SCX (with the USE command) in that case. That won't work.

You really don't need to open the GoFish project, or even build it. The GoFish4.app is already present in the download, and that the only file you need to run.

Bottom line is this.... Whenever you want to use GoFish, you should be running the GoFish4.app, not the boot prg from the project.
(Even then, you still cannot search the GoFish project with it. VFP will still get confused.)

By the way.... The default mode when GF runs is to search the active project. I believe that GoFish was your active project at that time? That's where the problem comes from. You need to click on the Advanced button and choose one of your own projects or folder paths to search, and then I think you will be able to use it without any issues.

Please let me know if this helps.

>>>>GoFish has been around for years, and I’ve recently taken over development of it, with permission from original author Peter Diotte, and have added tons of new features. One great thing about GoFish is that it is usually 3 to 10 times faster than Code References. And, the new UI has been redesigned to actually look very much like Code References, so that it will feel very familiar to existing CR users. But it has even more features, like post-search filtering, searching on TimeStamps of objects within a form or class, and fully colorized code views.
