Documenting Wizard ignores .spr's

[agbtech]

I've done a minimal migration from FP2.6 to VFP 9 and wanted to document my projects. But wherever I have 'DO BLAHBLAH.SPR' there is no reference to those files in the files.dbf or fdxref.dbf or the .lst files. Is there some setting that must be changed?

You may have noticed that .SPR files no longer exist in VFP9.

.SPR files have not existed since Version 3.0

If he did a conversion, there will be SPR files that call the new-style SCX's.

They may not exist, but in fact if you call them as a program, i.e., DO blahblah.spr it runs they same way as a .prg. So if a project can recognize the .spr, why doesn't the wizard?

I cannot speak for Microsoft. But if you were to do a project in VFP9 you would not end up with .spr files, I guess they decided to remove it form the wizard, but kept the backwards compatibility to be able to run them.

Thanks. The other idiosyncratic thing that happens if you do a mimimal migration of FP 2.6 to VFP 9 is that you can call an .spr from a program of the same name, and they both get pulled into the project. But if you have a screen calling a prg of the same name, it is ommitted and not compiled into the exe.
