Fred,

The VFP documentation says that MODIFY PROCEDURE does an implicit COMPILE after saving. However, in a Runtime environment you cannot do the following:

MODIFY PROCEDURE
COMPILE DATABASE
APPEND PROCEDURES FROM somefile

I have worked around it by copying my text file to a temporary file from inside my EXE and then doing a COMPILE on that file and then USEing the DBC and then copying the resulting compiled file and source file into the appropriate records in the DBC. This seems to work OK. However, now that SP3 allows COMPILE it should also support the commands above. Maybe some day.

Wish List!
