Re: Windows Keep Closing

Ok, so this is not VFP that is not working but rather a program that you wrote in VFP? Did you use the installsheild express that came with VFP to create the install? I find I have the best luck using that if I get the settings right because all the right things get installed. It sounds like something IS installed on one machine and is NOT installed on the other.

Same program (same disk even). I once did a complete un-install, rebooted, then installed it again, but the problem still continued. I went through all the Tools / Options looking for soe kind of setting that needed changing, but couldn't find one. Come to think of it, I have two different programs I created using VFP 9 and, when I get back home, I'm going to see if the first one does the same thing. If not, then I can narrow it down to the program. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Thanks Cy.

What do you mean by "similar version"? Sounds like maybe a bad install? What version of windows on the laptop and what version on the pc at work? Also did you install SP1 in both places? I find that VFP 9 works the same on my work pc and my laptop. With the exception of visual issues, it works the same on Vista as on XP or 2000 as well.

VFP 9.0 works great on my pc at work, but when I installed a similar version on my laptop, every time I click a different window the previous one closes. This is extremely frustrsting, especially when I execute a "Find" in, say the init of a form. The form closes when the "Find" window shows up.

Do I have a setting wrong or something?

Thanks
