Thanks, Dave. As usual, you post and then stumble more or less into a

solution.

To answer your questions, yes I deleted fxps and recompiled both at the

command line and via the compile dialog. I did this for prgs and forms

and certain classes.

What appears to have happened here is that VFP was looking in my EXE

first instead of the source folders. This happened despite the fact that:

the EXE was not in the VFP default folder/current location, although the

folder it lived in was part of my dev search path

the source folders are in the search path first

sys(2450) is set to its default value of 0

Once I renamed the EXE, all started to work again as expected. This is

still a bit of a mystery to me as I have similar installations in

multiple locations that do not behave like this. But I've lost so much

time trying to figure it out that I'll just file it away under things

that appear to have no rational explanation and get back to work...
