>I'm wondering if, although the form is marked as included in the project, it may not actually be written into the .EXE (some sort of .PJX corruption?) or, it was corrupted in the last .EXE build, or the .EXE itself has become corrupted somehow. Any or all of which could lead VFP to believe the form is not present in the .EXE and to go looking for it elsewhere.

I moved the form somwhere else, and the exe runs just fine, so it must be included - which is what I expected.
Also, yesterday, after the incident, I could start the exe on any station without the .scx getting used, so it was only that station that got the scx. I don't know at what stage the scx was released. I exited the form, and that did not release the scx. Then sombody else closed everything and rebooted... The main question remains: how/why did the scx get used?
