Rick,
You don't know how good this makes me feel! I was all set to have to step my way through the program to try and see what was going on. I sort of thought it might have something to do with temp files as I have seen a problem with that before on fast PC's. I was thinking of introducing a wait after each screen to see if that would help.
So I will download and hopefully life will be better!
Thanks a million,
Albert

http://mmfudg.lansing.com/tips_etc.htm and in the Files section, get: GENSCRNX.ZIP [35 KB] (3/24/00) Patched for use on Faster CPUs. (Note: This has nothing to do with the FPW high speed fix, it's got to do with some temp files getting "lost".)

>>Hi,

>>I have an older app under FPW2.6 and am having trouble recompiling it now after about a year since I last touched it. Since last year, I have switched from a Win98 machine to a W2K PC. I get part way through the recompile, and at various spots, it bombs out saying it cannot find variable m.fsprout ("Food Sprout" for all I know :-) ). It is not consistent where it bombs - sometimes I get just about all the way through and it bombs so I just about cry....other times, it is only a few screens in when it happens.

>>I tried opening up various screens to see if they would open etc and they do. I tried hacking the .scx to see if I could see some sort of invalid path problem (I reorganized my drives since the last PC as well - now I have all changeable code on Drive D: (ie. source files) and all program code (eg FoxProw.exe) on drive C: (to make backups easier).

>>Any ideas - does Genscrnx just not work well on W2K machines?
