I am new to VFP having previously used FPW for many years. I have three different class libraries I am trying to add to a VFP 6 project. When I try to add these particular libraries VFP 6 dies. I next tried to use the class browser to see if I could examine them outside of a project. When I use the class browser to look at the libraries I get the following fatal error as soon as I open one

Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005

These libraries were created by someone else under VFP 5 and the VCX, VCT and VCA files were given to me. It appears that the VCX and VCT files make up a table that contains the various class information and that the VCA files were generated from the VCX/VCT files using the SCCTEXT program.

What are my options for trying to re-create valid VCX/VCT files? I am
contacting the provider of the files but I want to see what I can do from here as well. Can I do something with the VCX file by opening it as a table? It opens without errors but I don't know what to do with it from there.

Is there a way that I could re-create the VCX/VCT files from the VCA file? It looks like the SCCTEXT program does not convert from a text VCA file to a VCX file.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
