FoxApp Saves Source Code with Generated Application

ID: Q114786

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
• Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5b, 2.5c

SUMMARY

After a FoxApp application has been generated, a number of source files are left in the same directory/folder as the generated application.

The choice of which file to run can be confusing, especially in FoxPro for Macintosh, where each file appears as a separate icon in the folder.

MORE INFORMATION

The screen, program, menu and other files make up the source code. Automatic generation of the source code is necessary to create the final application file.

The source code files remain in the directory or folder to enable you to make changes to the generated application.

The final FoxApp screen identifies the name of the application that should be run. Make note of this filename and use it each time to identify the generated application.
