Does the error happen right as you start VFP?
You might try
1) renaming the foxuser files
2) check your config.fpw file to see if it's running code and remove the call to the code temporarily.
3) clear out the C:\Documents and Settings\David\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual FoxPro\_command.prg
4) remove the code that is pointed at by the tools/options/startup
>I experience right now a special problem: when trying to compile a new version of my software, suddenly Vfp7.exe gave me the following message:
>"fatal error, Line is too long", and then it kicked me out. . After that, I can not get in to vfp anymore. The Error Number is 18 and it said in the VFP help "...May be caused by replacement of macro, the compiled code may exceed the max length of internal program ??."
>My question: How to get back into vfp7.exe again in order to make correction.
>I am actually on a business trip and far away from home :-) . That is the reason I can not reinstall the vfp7. I am actually on line waiting patiently for your answer. Will appreciate greatly any hint, any help.
