I am modifying a visual accountmate (vfp accounting system) form/formset in vfp 5.
From the command window my current directory is c:\vam. I issue:
modi form forms\sotrsrv7 . I then receive the message:

file c:\vam does not exist

I get the message 4 times. Then the form opens OK. At first I thought it might be an icon file or a picture file for a button. But after some testing I discovered that if one specifies a bmp file for a picture button, and the file does not exist vfp ignores it. The icon property is set to none for all 3 forms in the formset.

What other types of files will the form designer attempt to open on startup. In general, my question is how can I debug the form designer itself. How can I learn more about the process it goes through upon loading the scx, and how to debug it, and how to determine where it is executing in the load process. One hint, I guess - I previously had a problem where it couldn't find a table referenced in the DE. that is fixed now. But that error would come up BEFORE the current error, so I guess that it happens after the DE is loaded.

TIA
