Paul:

I found out that you shouldn't remove PROCEDURE -- ENDPROC and fixed the damage that it created. I didn't post the code because, when I looked at it, it was obvious that the problem wasn't there. I forget exactly what it was, but it was completely correct.

I re-installed the program on the NT server and the problem went away. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking time to help me. Don't know if you remember or not, but I have been the lucky recipient of several assists from you over the past months. My debt to you, and others like you on this incredible forum, continues to mount! Ever think of coming to St. Croix???

>The first line should always say PROCEDURE ... and the last line should always be ENDPROC. These lines are generated by VFP and you shouldn't delete them. I asked you what is the 4th line, because you said the error message told you that the error is on Line 4. Can you post here the code you have in the Methods field? Because the error is most probably there. Without seeing the code, it is very difficult to say why it doesn't work.

>>>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.

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.
