John,
VFP3 says it can't find the PRG file, but it really means it can't find the compiled FXP file. If your PRGs are compiled, and the resulting FXP file is in the path, VFP3 will run it. Unfortunately that means users can't 'roll their own' PRGs. To do that you have to store the code and run each line with a macro. VERY difficult to debug on the fly.

>To benifit the user with the ability to do customized procedures on his data, I need to set up an add-on manager that will allow the user to register an external prg file and then run it from within the VFP. The problem is that VFP3's do command will not search anywhere except inside the exe. Is there a way to do this, or will all procedures have to be compiled into the exe?
