Problem generating EXE

Hello All,

Got a quick question:

I have made changes to an existing project (forms and menus), and when it comes time to build my EXE, I get an error "CANNOT UPDATE THE CURSOR".

It doesn't provide any extra information.

Providing that I have several cursor throughout the project, it's hard to tell which one VFP is talking about.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

 
Double check that none of the files in you project are set to read-only. It's usually the classes that are the culprits. "I love work. I can sit and stare at it for hours..."
 
The error message is not referring to CURSORs that you might have been using within your application. It is referring to cursors that the underlying VFP engine is using to build your EXE.

It you haven't already done so, I would suggest closing everything down. Maybe even shutdown your computer. Then bring it back up and try again before doing anything else.

Joe,
As Neil suggests, check the Read-Only (or System) property of all your files. If you are using any source control, make sure you have everything that's been changed checked out, and don't have the Recompile All box checked.
