Updating Applications

[Keith]

Hi People
When updating applications, is it necessary to do a full installation or
is it possible to just transfer the altered files and re-build the application
on the client`s machine.
The Client has Visual Studio installed on his machine. I have successfully
copied the altered files over a few times but the last time I tried it I
got a - Project Memo File Invalid error.
Has copying the files in this way caused the error or is it due to some other
reason - Thanks

Shouldn't have. But it sounds like you either didn't copy all the files you
needed, or the .PJT file became corrupt during the transfer.

Thanks for the prompt reply Bill.
Is there a way of creating a valid .PJT file from the existing project file
or should I rebuild the complete project?

Well, if you can open your project at your location, then you already have a
valid .PJT, just send the files again to your client and see what happens.

Beyond that, I don't know how to recover from an invalid .PJT without using
a backup copy. There are a few VFP file recovery tools on the market that
you may want to take a look at. Check out www.hallogram.com

Good luck.

Thanks again Bill for the advice.
The Application compiles OK and returns the Memo file Invalid Error. When
I run the Application, it is looking for one of my tables in a backup directory
and says it can`t find it, even though the a copy of the table exists in
that directory.
It is all very strange

To reconstruct a project you can make a new project file, add the main
program, do a SET PATH in the command window and build the project. VFP
will add in the files that it needs as long as it can find them.
