So you are issuing a "RUN MyExe.exe" from the VFP Command window? If not, please explain exactly how you are running this from VFP (e.g., DO ...). Running this from VFP is different from when you start the EXE from a shortcut or directly from Windows Explorer?

I would search for multiple instances of your EXE file. Perhaps you are not running the EXE you think you are. Deleting all intances of that EXE, then recompiling may help resolve the issue.
