ICO file is not a table

[Don Child]

Hi,

I'm starting to feel a little guilt from asking so many questions in one week. But I think I'm near the point where we can finally build a project from a few years ago.

In this instance, I caused this particular problem. There was some kind of file not found error, and a prompt for a locate. It happened to be an ico file, e.g. thisico.ico. I dealt with it by using a Locate button, and pointing to the file.

But now VFP thinks that the ico file is supposed to be a table. Obviously, it's checking for a dbf header, and finds the header invalid.

I can back out my mistake to a previous repository if necessary, but then would lose some changes from yesterday. Is there a way to remove thisico.ico from the list of objects that VFW thinks is a table?

I tried looking through Data/Databases, scanning through the full list of tables, but thisico.ico is not in any of those lists. I also looked at Free Tables, and nothing is there.

The only place the ico is referenced, is in Other Files ; but not as a table.

Got it. For some reason, it showed up in the list of Class Libraries. I removed it.

Please don't. If people didn't ask questions, there would be no point in having a forum. And if we didn't have a forum, what would I find to do in my tea and coffee breaks?

Seriously, though, good to hear that you found the error. I wouldn't have known where to start with that one.

There ya go. I'm helping to cure the workforce of boredom.

I can work with that.

My guess: The PJX had a missing class, not icon, it asked for a VCX, you gave it an ICO and then that happens.
That you find your ICO in the classes tab points to this.

Hi Chris,

Yep, that sounds plausble.
