I know how non-conforming my problem is, but I am stuck with two things:
An enormous legacy app (started with a .PRG) previously running on a FOUNDATION READ model.
--- and ---
A newly created VFP app, started by a .PRG.

After finishing the new VFP app, my instructions were: "Now, add the new one to the old menu."

So, I am running the old app under Visual FoxPro (without converting). You know, just running the code as it was, but running it in VFP instead of FPW 2.6. I did have to change the FOUNDATION READ to a READ EVENTS, of course.

Then, I added a new menu pad to the old menu, which fires off my new VFP program. But, it didn't run correctly, I think because my READ EVENTS is on top of the other READ EVENTS.

But, (here's the payoff) today I tried something new: I compiled my VFP program into an .EXE and changed my menu command to "RUN /N3 myapp.exe", and now everything runs fine, there is no longer any conflict, and I can move on to my next project.

Thank you very much for your efforts to assist.


>Tom,
>I'm not sure I really understand the nature of your problem. I assume when you say 2.6 you mean fpw2.6?? Are you running a 2.6 exe and calling a vfp app?? or have you transported the 2.6 program into vfp? If the former, then I don't see how it could work since the foundation read in 2.6 is a different animal than the read events in vfp. Personally, I have always run the menu in a prg file and then had a read valid or read events later in the prg. As you can see I am a little confused about what you are doing...
