Why are you copying forms? If you want backups, use SourceSafe (I even use it on my laptop for local stuff). If you want to use your forms in other apps, use subclassing - then you will also have backups (by having the original classes).

>I've been working with foxpro 6 for four months now, enjoying it very much.
>However, i have encountered an annoying error.
>When I copy Foxpro forms (in the windows NT explorer) the system sometimes messes up my carefully created forms.
>So: I have a fully functional form. I copy it from its original folder to another folder. I double-click on the copy. Foxpro opens, in the background of the foxpro screen all kinds of code comes scrolling down, and I get the error message 'Not a table'. The form appears to be scrambled. The original is still working fine. It only happens on one workstation.
>On this workstation there are no problems copying an moving files of other types, only foxpro forms are being messed up. It is a very annoying problem indeed as it sometimes messes up the form during transfer to a backup folder. I my humble opinion, there can be no worse scenario then a messed-up backup when you need it.
>Has anyone ever heard of such a problem? Do I need to re-install windows, is my network card broken, is there a windows option that has been misconfigured?
