Debugger/Path Problem

[NullOp]

Using VFP 9 SP1, when I open the debugger and try to load a prog into the trace window from a subdirectory I get ye olde "Source is not available." I have dilligently set the path using "set path to..." and still, the same results. I've tried using the FoxPro and Debugger frames, no change. When I view the path I am seeing the expected results. Suggestions?

What that error is telling you is that the date/time stamp on the .prg file is newer than the the .fxp file. The solution is to recompile, then open the debugger.

The date on the prg is 5/14/06, fxp is 10/27/06.

I guess my real question is why do I need to recompile an app that was shipped with freshly compiled progs.

In any case, recompiling worked, of course.

Thanks for the reply.

VFP executes the FXP but the source is stored in the PRG. If, for some reason, the date time stamp on the PRG is later than that on the FXP the source is, by definition, "out of date" and you get the error.

Perhaps the machine on which the PRG was recompiled was different than the one on which the PRG was last modified and the clocks weren't synchronized....
