Hello Everybodey

I have a big application (more than 1000 forms and reports) in one exe (no VFP)
(Windows Terminal Server FARM 2003 + Citrix)
Because we do very individual programming, we compile a new exe every night!
Now we want to do this with VFP 8.0, but we plan to split the application in serveral exe files!
Better maintenance and error handling!?
Our users don't accept 6 - 10 icons on there desktop to start the applications,
they want one exe(one menu)
So we are thinking about one exe (just a big main menu) from which they start the different exe
files, but we are not sure how to handle this ?

A 'normal' main programm for an 'subexe' works like this:

declare and set a lot off public variables
set procedure to ...
get windows user
open connection to database server (maxdb)
get user rights
set date ...
set ...
set ...
_screen ....
_screen ....

do applicationmenu
read events

disconnect from database server (maxdb)
release all
close all
clear all
quit


What will be the best way for our new main.exe(mainmenu) ?
What will be the best way for our sub exes (applicationmenu) ?
All sub exes should run in modal !
What about the public variables ??
What about the server connection ??

Any idea welcomed

Best regards
Albert
