>How to get the debugger to fire up when an error occurs in a compiled exe?
>Thanks!

- Run the EXE from within VFP
- If you've got an error trap, put in an ACTIVATE WINDOW DEBUG (making sure that it's conditional, since the command isn't available in the runtime)

IF VERSION(2)#0 THEN
    ACTIVATE WINDOW DEBUG
ENDIF

- If you want meaningful information in the trace panel, make sure you compile the EXE so that Debug info item is checked in the project properties. Also you'll need to be launching the program in a directory where the source files will be visible.
