In .exe (and maybe in .app too) you don't have the full VFP, so you don't have the compiler. There are utilities, though, to achieve that. Maybe the trick of running what's on the clipboard (run selected lines, as appears when you select couple of lines on the Command window and right-click it) may be used here? The generate-compile-run-on-the-fly routines are intended to save you coding time, and not to keep happening at the user's machine all the time. Besides, what do you need that for? I know, this is exactly the question I don't like, but couldn't resist it - that's what a Clipper programmer asked me when I asked him if Clipper was capable of writing, compiling and immediately running a .prg :) P.S. I appologize to all who had to download my messages several times - I've had hardware troubles (sold my modem and now try three modems in a row for some ten days, none of them working), so I tried to send them from the office, by simply carrying the outbox. file, and inside it there was some FCC line, pointing to a wrong path. Netscape mailer kept informing me of errors, so I thought the messages didn't get sent, so I sent them again couple of times... and afterwards it dawned on me it was only looking for a wrong Sent. file ;(. I'll get around next time. I'll have to do it (send from office) for some time now, since the latest modem permanently reports "port is in use by another program" and simply doesn't dial, so I'd better do it right.
