file does not exist error

[113983]

WE have a large VFP9 application (menu driven) where users may run a number of exes at any time and in any order. Occasionally we will get a file not found error in one of the exes (usually a prg or scx). We check the project and the file is part of the project. We exit the system, come back in and run the offending exe and now we don't get the error. Has anyone else had symptoms like this where it appears if you run enough exes that some items get dropped from the stack or memory? We even created a logging program so that we could trace what combination of running the programs would cause the error. This was successful but still did not explain why the file not found error was occurring when the 'not found' file was part of the exe being called.

Are you sure the file not being found is a prg or scx, rather than the current method (prg or scx) which itself can't find a file?

yes - for sure - the project has a number of scxs. basically they are run from a menu where would say "do form abc.scx". If you go directly into the project (it is a reports module) and select the abc option - it runs. However if you have run a number of other prgs, scxs, exes, etc. occasionally you will get the file not found error. We distribute this application to a large number of clients and only some of them get the problem and as said above only occasionally.

We think it is something to do with caching but....can't prove it.
