Cannot update cursor

When compiling a project in VFP 7, I get "Cannot update cursor". I have checked and nothing is in use or open.

At my company we have 2 versions. We have the Development version - in sourcesafe which compiles just fine.
and the Production version - in sourcesafe, which fails to compile with the error "Cannot Update cursor"

Both versions of the VFP projects contain an identical set of programs, forms, reports and labels. The difference must be in the project files PJX & PJT.

I tried deleting the Production project and creating one from scratch. As long as I just compile and don't try to create an APP or EXE, it compiles without any error. But as soon as I try to make an app or exe file, I get the "cannot update cursor."

So my supervisor is very concerned about this and wants a solution. Can anyone help?
 
I found the solution, Sourcesafe when checking in files, makes them read only. Whenever FoxPro tried to cimpile a project into an app of exe, it quits when it encounters a read only file. So my solution was to take away the read only attribute on those files.
