Mohamed,
Some more ideas... I'm sure you are close!
. Check your C:\TEMP directory for a possible .log file with an error msg
(What kind of .c files are there?)
. Empty out your C:\TEMP directory
. Create a brand new .PBL and copy your app object/proj object to it
(That's all you have in your top .PBL of your PB Search Path, correct?)
. No other .PBL has an application object in it, correct?
. Double-check that your application object's icon is really a valid .ico-
(Do you see the icon displayed below your Browse button?)
Better yet, remove it to see if that helps
. While you are there, double-check your "Variable Types"
(SQLCA = n_tr, Error = n_err, Message = n_msg)
. Copy all of the .PBLs to your C: drive
(and update your PB Search Path to only point to your C: drive)
(and check to make sure that you still have plenty of disk space)
. Double-, no, Triple-check your PB Search path...
(Have all *Eleven* PFC/PFE .PBLs? ...including pfcold.pbl?)
. Do you have plenty of memory? ...and a big swap file?
. Do not check the "Machine Code" box
. You have selected "Native" for executable format, correct? not 16-bit?
. Select "Full" Rebuild
. Is your Resource File Name valid? Try removing it.
. If there is a drive:\path on the .exe name is it ok? Try removing it.
. Check the .PBD box for all .PBLs, except for the first one
(that should only have your application object and your project object)
. Wild guess- Any references to some other drive:/path on say a .bmp/.ico?
. Remember to cross your fingers before beginning the build <g>
