my answer....


I guess my first question is - Why are you trying to modify a form from a .prg to begin with? To my mind, that's what the Project Manager is for.

I do not use the Project Manager...maybe I should. I am an clipper(dos)
programmer moving to vfp50.



The next question is - Does the Form designer appear when you run this .prg? yes - If it does, can you edit other aspects of the form, such as the layout or methods? yes

The next - When your .prg is running, is the View menu visible? That is where you would have access to the Data Environment. yes


And going back to the first - Why do you want to run a .prg to edit this form to begin with? You are right, I should work off the Project Manager,
but there are many times when I test my code off the command window in
small programs and it would be a problem for me to go in and out of the Project Manager.....
