I know you are probably tired of hearing from me on this stuff, but I'm
still working out the issues with my ProjectSetup.exe tool that I described
last week that creates a shortcut and a .FPW file for my projects so I can
run multiple instances of VFP for multiple projects at the same time. I've
reworked the .FPW file command order so it now looks like this:

 

****************************************************************************
*****

TMPFILES=c:\temp

EDITWORK=c:\temp

SORTWORK=c:\temp

PROGWORK=c:\temp

 

PATH = .\DATA; .\FORMS; .\GRAPHICS; .\LIBS; .\MENUS; .\PROGRAMS; .\REPORTS;
T:\LIBRARY

 

DEFAULT = "T:\DATAWORKS\ACTIVE\TP\FORMAL\"

RESOURCE = "T:\DATAWORKS\ACTIVE\TP \FORMAL\FOXUSER.DBF"

COMMAND = MODIFY PROJECT "T:\DATAWORKS\ACTIVE\TP \FORMAL\TRNSLATE.PJX"
NOWAIT

****************************************************************************
*****

 

However, the NOWAIT option appears to have no effect because once VFP opens,
the project manager shows my project it but there is also open a command
window with nothing in it and I cannot type in the command window until I
close it and re-open the command window. It's like once VFP starts with
COMMAND = MODIFY PROJECT "T:\DATAWORKS\ACTIVE\TP \FORMAL\TRNSLATE.PJX" it
stays focused on the project manager until I close the command window and
restart it. Then it works normally. It's almost like there's a READ EVENTS
statement that is active until I close the blank command window. FYI, I've
also tried this by modifying the FPW file to read COMMAND = DO
PROJSTART.PRG, , but it does exact the same thing even if I include the
NOWAIT option on the Modify Project line. 

 

It's not a big deal, I can close the command window and re-open it but it
annoys me that the NOWAIT option is there and by the documentation, it
should solve the problem I'm seeing. 

 

Anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong here?
