My Woes worsen....

Here is THE single most simple code ANYONE could write, yes?:

METHOD Start() CLASS App
self:Quit()
Return self

What could go wrong? Right? well see the attached screenshots below. Bear in mind please the original version of this "app" contains no actual screens, it's whole purpose in life is to create databases and their indexes..That's all...

I seriously do not know what to do. I've completely uninstalled VO and all associated programs - bBrowser, ReportPro etc, trolled through the Registry looking for any trace of CAVO, Grafx, Associates, Computer, etc until I'd deleted every last trace. REVO uninstaller then found nothing at all, and so did a further scan on the registry. I rebooted the PC, and reinstalled everything from scratch,and this is the result...

First thing, why would you want your application to return SELF? Normally you would want to return an error code (INT).

Set a breakpoint on your Quit line and step through in DEBUG mode. I think you trying to fix something that ain't broke and break it further...

Hi Jeff,

About your "CreateProcess() failed" error msg:.

Your app name contains the word "setup". Rename it to "bmdbInst", whereby "inst" is a synonym for "install" - which is also a bad word .

BTW. Your chosen topic description is - as always - bad too

regards
Karl-Heinz

[wriedmann]

Hi Jeff,

if you don't need any GUI, why do you not use the Console application type?

Wolfgang

[BiggyRat]

Well Karl-Heinz, if you don't like my subject title(s), change it/them. Seems to be a lot of that going on for me atm. That code ASIS has been working flawlessly for over 6 months. NOW it's changed? WHY? Can't you see how frustrating this is? I am not as stupid as you appear to think me, it's just that things that WERE working suddenly change, for no apparent reason. Just like that date format problem. For 3 months at least that worked fine. It was one of the first screens I wrote for this app. Then, suddenly it stops. Again why? I'm all for logic, I try to think what may have changed, but when things just happen out of the blue, and not just once, but regularly, it becomes VERY frustrating.

For another example, this file I've been writing about is about 6 months old. Never been a problem NOW, all of a sudden the word "setup" contained in the exe file name is taboo! WTFH. WHY all of a sudden? What has changed? I can't believe this is ALL my doing.

Jeff,

1) The error log has a reference to CAVOPP.DLL. Do you have a Clipper Header file in your application's properties ? I see no need for this in your code. Please remove that header file.

2) An app that uses GUI Classes should also reference System Classes.

3) In a previous message you wrote that you had a problem with BUILDREPO.EXE. Are you using the system repository that came with the product or did you create your own system repository (because that is what the BuildRepo tool is needed for)? If you are using your own system repository, then please switch back to the normal system repository. If you don't know what I am talking about then please don't run BuildRepo.exe in the future.

1) The error log has a reference to CAVOPP.DLL. Do you have a Clipper Header file in your application's properties ? I see no need for this in your code. Please remove that header file.

No, Robert there are none. That error cropped up, as usual, during a full app compile.

2) An app that uses GUI Classes should also reference System Classes.

That was just showing the bear minimum it would compile with, The full code is posted later, but I haven't posted the libraries included (System and RDD Classes as well as GUI)

3) In a previous message you wrote that you had a problem with BUILDREPO.EXE. Are you using the system repository that came with the product or did you create your own system repository (because that is what the BuildRepo tool is needed for)? If you are using your own system repository, then please switch back to the normal system repository. If you don't know what I am talking about then please don't run BuildRepo.exe in the future.

As I say Robert, I'm not THAT stupid. I have 2 repositories - "Default" and "Lightning PC" it doesn't matter, the BuildRepo.exe won't run.

This is something done by Microsoft since at least Windows 8, and has nothing to do with VO itself

Wolfgang

[BiggyRat]

I get that Wolfgang, but my point is "why is it NOW a problem for me?" as of 2 days ago, it was fine...
