8.0 Problems with builders

[MichaelHawksworth]

I am getting numerous errors from the builders in the new version (combo box etc) that say backup copies already exist plus other messages.

When these fail you loose the item you had called the builder on.

I cant find any references to this anywhere else so I guess it is my config etc.

Anyone any ideas what is causing this as I am getting bored doing everything the long way!

Thanks

Michael,
Are you doing this on a new form in 8.0, or are you "converting" an older VFP form? Are you using any framework or just the VFP base classes?

Im well over the minimum specs.

Rick
This is a Foxpro 7 database that has been 'moved up'. Following your email I checked if I get the problem on new developments and no I dont.

Question then is... what is causing the problem from VFP7? I have dealt with the other changes (including the select distinct <table>.* change when the table contains a memo field - gripe gripe) and can find no refererence to other porting issues.

Michael,
OK, the one thing I'd try is to open the project and do a REBUILD ALL, and if you have any stored procedures in your DBC, use the COMPILE DATABASE command to regenerate this code. Perhaps there is some non-compatible code somewhere in your classes or forms.

The other thing I'd check is to make sure you are actually using the 8.0 builders - check the _BUILDER system variable.

The builder was runing the FVP 7 builder ::mutters about inheriting projects::.

Thanks for the help folks.
