App is not a Table

[rgw]

Have been working on updating a system that has worked fine for years. Have recompiled my test app dozens if not hundreds of times over the past few months with no real glitches. This morning I recompiled and got an error message saying that my app is not a table. I removed the program that I was most recently working on in case I had some bad code but no luck. The dbc and the associated tables look as expected.

With no luck finding the error I decided to write a quick project which would use the startup code. I added one login form. It would work for a couple of times -and then I get an error saying that it could not write to the file. Form is corrupted and I have to remove it.

I am writing to drives with no permission problems. Running VFP9 on a Windows 7 machine.

Any help much appreciated

Something has interfered with your project files, perhaps you AV s/w?

Can you put the VFP extensions into an exception list on the AV and then
try a new project?

In the dev/test/crash/debug cycle are you trying to rebuild while you are SUSPENDed?

Type CANCEL in the command window before you build. You might be surprised how many times this solves "weird things".

thx for the two responses. couldn't make the 'app not a table' error disappear even though everything in the project looked to have the proper extension. Decided to go back to an earlier version and rework from there.

Suspect the other area was down to a bit of carelessness by me. Seems I was adding some comments and by accident marked a line of code as a comment--left too many things open. Appreciate the 'cancel' comment and will watch out for that in the future.
