I think the problem is the line:

PROCEDURE Main

If you remove this line, the main program will actually run (assuming that it is marked as the main program in the project manager).

>Hello,
>My form runs fine when it is in the VFP system.
>But when it is compiled into an exe file
>and run in Windows, it flashes and disappeares.
>Anybody knows why? Thanks for any help.
>

>Below is my "main.prg" to call the form. The form's windowstate = modal

>PROCEDURE Main   && you need to remove this line
>CLOSE ALL
>CLEAR ALL
>_screen.visible = .F.
>DO FORM R_Form NAME main LINKED
>READ EVENTS
>CLOSE DATABASES
