Hi Garret and all,

FWIW, Since I use Windows 2000 as my main development platform, I regulary have to deal with corrupted forms when things go wrong. For myself (and maybe for others too) i've found a solution in the following way.

I've included a command window (My Fox6Command.prg available from the files section) in most of my application which can be activated by passing a parameter when starting the application.

The command window allows you to use and copy forms, reports and embedded data in the following way:

USE myform.scx
COPY TO source\forms\MyCopyOfMyForm.scx

This also helps if you've only got the APP or EXE, and the source is lost (or maybe version control). However, this way you're not able to recover PRGs. (Note you've got to include debuginfo to recover the sourcecode besides the complied code)

Walter,
