disappearing methods in forms

Hello All,

This is the second time I am facing this issue on Windows 10.

After I compile the project to an exe, I find that entire methods of my
forms have gone empty!.
First time, when it happened, I "solved" this mysterious problem by
having an exclusion entry of my vfp program folders in Windows 10's
default Defender program.

After a long time, this happened again yesterday - To my surprise -
Defender had removed all my exclusions ! - and my methods started
disappearing again.
By the way - this happened after the last update couple of days back.

Woes of Windows 10 !


Ajit

You should use a SCM tool (git, etc) and convert your binaries to text
+1 on that.  Makes it easy to diff the changes and you have a copy of
the methods in a text file.

I use GenieTimeline - which creates versions of every file at regular
intervals automatically.
Of course - an SCM tool will be better as i can use diff to find the
exact missing methods.

Installation in the default folder - C:\Program Files (x86)
That's maybe the culprit. Everything installed in "Program files" is readonly for normal users, thus for VFP this isn't the ideal homebase, since it cannot write anything in it's folder hierarchy (like temp files or support tables), or recompile some of the classes, etc.

You may want to set the attributes of the VFP folder and it's subfolders to ReadWrite, or always run it explicitely with Administrative Rights.
And next time install it to something like c:\develop\ :)

It's true, right now VFP works better when installed out of Program Files
dir.
