MAIN.MPR is your menu. Either include it in your project or make the menu folder accessable.

Also a difference between VCX and SCX forms is you do not have a data environment in VCX based forms.

>>>I have lots of forms around, and in foxpro 2.6 was able to compile them into the exe, so that I did not have to distribute them separately. Can't seem to figure out how to do that in VFP 5.0. Is the vcx the way to go? Thanks.

>>Both .VCX and .SCX based forms can be included in a compiled application without any special effort; in fact, you have to explicitly exclude the form or class library from the project if you want to send them out separately.
