>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 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).

I would assume this would work, but I haven't used GenScrnX even once since 1995 or so. m.fsprout is the variable containing the file name of the SPR file to be generated by genscrn.prg. I recall issues like this when the path was not correct or files could not be found. Try doing a SET DEFAULT TO
where your SCX is located or where your PJX project is located and see if that resolves the issue. This is just a guess on my part based on my long term memory cells which still remain in few deep in the back of my mind.
