Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I tooled around last night for three hours and did find the tndmgt class. It originally did not occur to me to look for the tndmgt class as a subclass. I have studied OOP and VFP for several years (Had to much Fox 26 work to support) but actually working with it is a bigger mental leap than I could have imagined.

After I tried everything I could, I decided to just tool around see what I could learn. I discovered it by accident.

Once I found "tndmgt" I knew that it being missing was not the problem so I began to look around in the app startup code and discoverd that in the main.prg that was created there was the following piece of code:

DO [COMMONPATH\PROGS\Setup]

I knew what was going on here but it did not make sense that since the setup.prg was bound into the project there was no reason to have a path. I removed the path and it fixed the problem.

1). What is being attepted here with this path being hardcoded in ?
2). How did the program run past this point to error in setup.prg when the above path is incorrect to my install ?
3). Since the program continued to run past this point why did the exe not find tndmgt when it was bound into the project ? How did this path confuse Fox at runtime ? It found tndmgt after I removed the path !
