Hi Ken, I tried as you suggested, and also made a completely new project file, adding the necessary files from scratch. No matter what I do, the startup program is not included in the compiled exe, and the grayed out check mark for the "include file within executable" present in version 2.61 of dBASE, is not present in 10.3. I also tried adding a start.prg to the project, with the contents a single line "do micron4a.wfm". Again, when I build the project into micron.exe, the compiled program runs if micron4a.wfm (and *.wfo) are present in the folder with the program, but it does not run when moved to another folder. The version of dBASE PLUS that I am using, as displayed in the "About dBASE PLUS" shows dBASE PLUS: 10.3.1.0 b2504 (02/22/2016-EN160222) BDE: 5.2.0.2 Free Memory: 4,294,967,295 I recently purchased the license. I am running in Windows 7 Professional, 64bit version. Any more ideas?

It seems silly to have to include a possibly obscurely named wfo or pro file to have the built program be able to run. > > > > My original post on 11 October includes attachments showing the projects in 10.3 and 2.61. > > I just opened up a project for an app I regularly tinker with, that is > currently being built in 10.3.1. > > On the main page of the Project form ("Project" tab), it shows in the > combobox for "Main Program File" the program "start.prg". > > If I find "start.prg" in the tree on the left and click on it, the "File > Details" tab automatically opens, (and if not, you can click it) and > "File is Main (Startup) Program?" is checked, and greyed out but checked > is "Include file within executable?". > > If you are not seeing that, one thing you could do: > > Remove the file from the project.
