double click a prg in vfp9

[borsker]

Just insalled vfp9 (I was using vfp6) and now when i double click my shortcut program on my desktop, the prg does not run, it opens for editing. Is there something I have to do to get this thing to run when I double click the mouse, rather than actually tell it in the command window to do myProgram.prg.

You'll need to change the file association (right click->properties) of the .prg to change that behavior.

open up in a VFP IDE is the default for a prg file, you must have changed that behaviour to run prg sometime ago. As VFP9 takes care of diverse file associations that behaviour is normal.

Borsker,

- In Windows Explorer, go to Tools / Folder Options / File Types.

- Scroll down the list until you find PRG.

- Click on Advanced.

- Select Run, the OK, then OK again.

I suggest shortcuts to the complied 'fxp' file for click-to-run.

I chose it to run, but it still comes up as edit. I tried to click the fxp file and it works great. thanks.
