I've actually had this happen to me before because I got some files from another developer that was in a different timezone. There are other things that can cause it to happen I'm sure - but that is what happened to me. Took me a bit to figure out that was what was happening too. Anyway like I said try compiling the stuff individually, THEN compile the .exe. I think if the .sct has a timestamp after the .scx, then the .scx is not recompiled when you do a build .exe - even if you have selected to recompile all files. Kinda a bug if ya ask me.


Thanks Victor, sounds like a good plan.

Just for clarification, are you saying that if I COMPLIE FORM for the problem Form, then that will take care of it - and I don't have to do this every time that I am compiling into a EXE? In otherwords the COMPLIE FORM one time should take care of it even as I continue to make additional changes to the Form?
