"This resource is not valid" error running exe with run cmd.

[sfr10000]

In an effort to run a process triggered by the timer without interfering with a currently running process, I have created an exe with foxpro with only the code I want to run when the timer starts a process. I use the timer to run this process with the "RUN" command. This seems to work great when I am running the main process code uncompiled and the timer triggered process is compiled and running in an exe. However when I compile the main process and the timer tries to run the timer triggered process, I get a message that says "This resource is not valid, do you want to replace it with an empty respource ?". I doesnt matter how I answer the question, the exe doesnt run.

That message sounds like the one you see when the resource files (that is FOXUSER.*) are corrupted. Does the message actually refer to a "resource file"?

If so, it has nothing to do with timers. You just need to delete all your FOXUSER.* files. If that doesn't do the trick, try setting RESOURCE off then deleting the files again.
