How do you compile .prg files??

[gambhir]

My host does not have Foxpro installed on their web servers.
Beucase of this it is not possible to execute .prg files directly because FoxPro. They suggested that I should compile .prg scripts on your machine and upload .fxp files to the server. How in the heck do I do this?

You'll get .fxp AUTOMATICALLY when you run your program in FoxPro from your machine or enter this command line:

COMPILE yourprogram

in the Command Window.
If your .fxp doesn't work.
Look for "Chapter 13: Compiling an Application" in FoxPro's Help.

If your ISP host doesn't have at least the VFP runtime installed (implying they are running a WinNT or Win2000 server), you're probably out of luck. You need these runtime files to run a VFP .APP or .EXE. (You can only run .PRGs from the development environment. .FXPs can be run from the development environment or from an .APP or .EXE - which require at least the runtime.)

From the VFP6 main menu
Select Programs
Select Compile
Select the directory where the prg files are
Select All
select Compile.

Gambhir,
Who are you using for your ISP? I'm looking for a host that provides VFP capability.
Thanks
