What is the maening of 'APP_MEDIATOR' does not exist?

[dumarest]

I did some 'cleanup' on my FoxPro Ver. 6.0 database [evidently more than I wanted] - I think all I did was remove some index files but who knowa?? Now at trying to run, when I expect a window with a list of items, I get 'APP_MEDIATOR does not exist' in a standard form.dataenvironment.curso'r'X statement. What does this mean, what have I done [possibly] and what can I do to recover???

My suggestion (Since app_mediator is used by the Project wizard), is to backup you whole project as is. A create a new directory and copy all the files in your project. Then delete the project files (.pjx, and .pjt). The use the File -> Project and point to the new directory and let the wizard do it's thing.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work. In the interest of adding to knowledge, I will describe what I seem to have done, and how it was repaired. In the program, there are a number of child forms that are activated when I click a check box, allowing selecting one of a list of options to fill said check box. I must have removed these forms as i was editing the program. As I tried to work my way through, after removing and reinstalling Visual Studio, with the program running, I happened to try a modify on one of said child forms. Up came an error message, can't find this form. I selected locate, and lo! the form was in the full database but was not in the'project database' and so was not a part of the working program. Indicated the location, and all worked. Why removing such child forms gave the 'APP_MEDIATOR' error I have no idea, but as given here such are the facts of my problem and correction of same.
