You miss a READ EVENT (and a CLEAR EVENT, of course) probably. You must have a READ EVENT in your app. When you're develpment environment of VFP, you have the default READ EVENT which is in effect. When you run your exe you don't have it anymore, so you must issue one (usually after you activate your menu, but the place where you must put it depends on your app's structure).
