PRB: Build Application Option Unavailable in Project Manager

ID: Q96342

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

When you select Build in the Project Manager window, the Build Application option is unavailable.

CAUSE

There are three possible causes of this problem:

• The project contains no executable files. (An executable file can be a menu, screen, or program.)
• The main file has been removed.
• A READ command is active.

RESOLUTION

To work around the problem, do one of the following:

• If the project does not contain any executable files, choose Add to include one. The file will then appear in the project with a bullet next to its type indicating that this is the main file. This main file is similar to a main procedure file--it should contain references to all other parts of the project.

  -or-

• If the project does contain executable files but none of them have a bullet, this indicates the main file has been removed. In this case, either add the program back into the project or highlight one of the other executable files and choose Set Main from the Project menu.

  -or-

• If an active READ command is not allowing a project to be built, issue a CANCEL command.
