Thanks Ted.
The code I'm using now is how I determine the name of the compiled
application and once it returns the correct .EXE name, we then look for an
.INI file with the same JUSTSTEM() where our settings are. The code works
whether compiled or in the IDE and the only requirement is that I have at
least one copy of the compiled .exe file in the development folder.
I know I can hard code that easily enough, but because I have so many
projects and they often have different compiled names, so the logic of
looking in the app folder for an .EXE with 'MAIN PROGRAM' in the file
version information makes the method to retrieve the JUSTSTEM('exe name') a
simple prospect and has worked since version 6.
First time I've ever had a problem with it and that's only after the second
time I get a handle to the Oracle database via the Oracle ODBC driver. Weird
stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I may end up refactoring this whole
process anyway because of this weirdness.

You might consider PROGRAM(), the venerable SYS(16) or the (new to
VFP7) AStackInfo().
