Hey - Ken - Nope - I don't expect VP to compile whilst things are open. I close down the Forms & Such I am working on - BEFORE Compiling. And, as I just mentioned in my other response - the opening of the Project is WAY Slow. So - having to close it down & open it again - its BAD!
Maybe I SHOULD Have stuck w/working in VFP7 - even though Others on this list here said I should RUN Away from 7 - and stick w/9. And, yeah - I'm also working on Win7 now - which may be exasperating the problem! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Dibble Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: WTF???

Sometimes even CLOSE ALL, RELEASE ALL and CLEAR ALL won't even do it. VFP's ability to clean itself up reliably deteriorated with each release from VFP 7 to VFP 9. And in my experience, the problem is worst with VFP 9 on Win 7. It takes me ten seconds to shut down and restart VFP. That doesn't seem like much of a problem to me. If you're expecting to have, and keep, a bunch of stuff open in VFP while compiling a project, that's not a realistic expectation. VFP can't compile properly with anything that the project needs still in memory. That includes VFP base classes that are used by something you have open that isn't part of the project you're compiling.
