>Greatings,
>I have an executable made from VFP and it calls different applications (.app) accourding to the user choice. The problem here is when select one option from the main exe, it launches the corresponding .app file and when it encounters the command 'do form' it gave me 'scx not found error'. Why the compiled file looking for an SCX file ?

The problem is that once you are running something outside the EXE (like an APP) you can't call an SCX or VCX that's in the EXE without returning back to the EXE. VFP just can't see anything but a PRG in the EXE when it's running outside of that EXE.

The workaround for this problem is to have a generic function in a PRG that will call the SCX or VCX in the EXE for you. Something like this: (Warning: untested code!)

FUNCTION RunMyCommand
LPARAMETERS tcCommand
LOCAL lvReturn

lvReturn = &tcCommand
return lvReturn

ENDFUNC
