Look at the method carefully. In the form that causes the lock up, the is at least one ore more method that does not has code inside it, but will have some strange (unprintable character) at the top left corner of the code window. The property sheet will show that the is some code in the code window. Just reset the method to 'default' in the property sheet (it is save to do so). Save your form, you will be find.

When it USE the form.scx, BROWSE it, look at the 'method' field, I do see a procedure that does not have code, i.e, it looked like this:

PRECEDURE blabla
code..
code...
code...
code...
ENDRPOC

PROCEDURE trouble <--- Here is your problem.
ENDPROC <--- Problem.

Another workaround is to remove manually these 2 lines.

Try this,I spent days researching this problem. I had a written a small utility to scan this kind of codes. You can do it too.

>>I got Refox and as you indicated I had my source code in minutes. After cmpiling classes, forms and reports all looked well. Until ... I wanted to modify one of the forms when I went to save. Well the disk activity started and continued indefinately and VFP locked up. Task manager to forcefully kill it. Tried a number of other forms and some very minor would save but most gave me grief. Any chance you had to deal with this? Classes and reports are OK. Someone suggested "save as" but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Xitech hasn't offered much help other than to try a "pack memo"
