Vlad:

Thanks for the lead--I found the problem! This was a form I had written about a year ago, while still in the throes of moving myself from Clipper DOS to VFP. When I went to the Methods memo, I saw that I had a class called SaveData. The first line of code was to name the procedure (as was required in Clipper). It said PROCEDURE SaveData. The last line of code was ENDPROC. When I removed these two lines, up popped another error message--another method with the same "error". Now everything runs like a top, both as an app and as an EXE. Don't understand WHY this happens, but am absolutely delighted to have it solved.

I really appreciate all of you folks who responded to this and previous messages to try to help me out of this little mess!!!

>>I have a form that invokes properly and runs beautifully whenever I run it from within the project (VFP 5.0), i.e., by RUNning MAIN.PRG. However, whenever I compile the project and run it as an executable, the form (and only this one form) will not load. I get an out of memory error message when it tries to load a combo box contained in the form.

BTW, the EXE file is also small--under 400K. The error message points me to Record #22, Line 4. When I USE the form (USE CUSTOMER.SCX), Record 22 is, indeed, the combobox control.

>>Any idea why the combo box won't load as part of an executable? And does anybody know what Line 4 means in the error message??
