You need to add a READ EVENTS after you set up your application to tell VFP to stop and accept input from the user. Don't forget to put a CLEAR EVENTS when you want to exit the application.

>I am new to using projects in Foxpro, I haven't had the need to in the past, because most of what I do is integrated with SBT Accounting Software. I am working on a custom app external from SBT, and am having problems with the project running after creating an .exe. If I run the project inside of Visual Foxpro 5.0, it works fine, but after compiling and then running the .exe, it will not run. It will start to pop up the menu, enough to see it's there, and then it just exits again. What could be causing this?
