PMFJI,
The problem, if I understand it is that your .app is just a collection of forms and you are actually calling DO FORM Someform from the application object in your .EXE and the .EXE cannot see the forms in the .app file. Is this the case?

Since DO FORM does not have the IN clause like DO FORM SOMEFORM IN MYAPP.APP, the DO FORM has to be called from the .app which can see the forms contained within.

Can you call your .app with a parameter to run a specified form like DO MYAPP.APP with Someform and within the app, call do form using the passed form and return a reference to the form back to your exe?

>>You could have accomplished the same task using separate exe's besides some functions don't work in apps and apps offer less security in my opinion than exe's. I just don't think there is a good rationale for distributing Applications as app files as opposed to exe's.
