>>Hi everybody,

>>I'm trying to investigate strange problem. If I run this command in command window: "DO MAPREF", it fails with "Data type mismatch" error. Debug shows "Source is unavailable". If I change it to DO MAPREF.APP, it runs my correct file and I don't see an error. The same if I DO MAPREF.PRG. So, I thought, may be I have Mapref.exe somewhere, so I did ?FULLPATH("MAPREF.EXE") and it returned a path, while FILE("MAPREF.EXE") returned .f. and Windows Explorer also don't show this file. I've checked HELP file on FULLPATH() in VFP6, but this "feature" is not mentioned here.

Ok, good to know. I haven't resolved my problem though. I'll check on Monday, if this strange error will appear. I have no explanation, may be some cashed
copy was running...
BTW, I still think, that Help could be more specific about this behavior.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
