Tony,

I'm guessing that your pushbutton that runs the form has the following in it's code:
   onClick = {;do MbcDisplay.wfm}

Please change that to:
   onClick = {;msgbox(set("directory")); do MbcDisplay.wfm}

Run the form, press the pushbutton and check that the folder shown is, in fact, the one that contains MbcDisplay.wfm.

My guess is that the folder that dBASE is running in is not the one you think it is.

There are plenty of other things that we can check on if I am wrong...this will be something simple and is very unlikely to be a bug.

Andy

> I mean the dBase wfm Files are all in a folder called "Mbcdisplay" together with the other Mbcfiles?? . When I open the Mbcdisplay folder & double left click Mbcdisplay.wfm it executes OK. Right beside it is Mbcmenu.wfm and when I double left click on it in the same folder it also executes OK. However Mbcmenu.wfm pushbutton. with Do Mbcdisplay.wfm  can't find Mbcdisplay.wfm to make it execute. ??.

When I switched it on again, the Mbcmenu.wfm executed as exactly as it should ?? - I know it would not excite dBase LLc, but think it is a "dBase Language Bug" , and now AllproMenu.wfm will not execute, and I have had it running for at least 4 weeks - No I have not played with the coding, so it all seems weird to this 83 year old ??
