I have been experimenting and getting familiar with FF3 and I done something to the point that my test program will not run. I think the problem started when I created a new folder in the root directory instead of having the project under the default project folder under Program Files. When I did that, FF adviced me that it was going to copy the files to the new folder...I clicked OK. After that, when I try to run the test project, I get a blank compiler results message box, and the project doesn't run.
No idea what I might have done. I have compared project settings with a working project and everything seems to be the same.
Any thoughts???

Not sure. I just did a quick test and it seemed to work okay.
Do you have other files that your Project depended on? For example, some DLL's in your Release folder that did not get copied over to the new project's Release folder? Did you have any relative paths to files specified in the FF_AppStart or elsewhere?
Paul,
I will try to zip up the directory and send it to you for your tests....maybe you will spot something. I was playing with the tab on a tab and basically those were the only 2 controls on the form at the time. I went as far as removing both of them so that all I had left was the form itself and was still getting the same results.
Thanks,
Gary
I had the same thing happen after changing an image attached to an RR button. It appears that the PB compiler is no longer being called. Other projects still work.
Robert,
That may be the same thing here..... I did have a bitmap attached I was using for a background. You are correct....other projects still work fine. It looks like it goes through the process of compiling....I get a progress bar for a second or two, then get the compiler results box with nothing in it and the project never executes.

Hi Gary,
I got your project.... I will run some tests. It may very well be a case of an incorrect path to a file or a reference off into thin air. I'll report back.
Having a hard time reproducing this problem.....
Paul,
Not totally consistent, but I seem to be able to usually reproduce it by:
1) Create a new project
2) Add an RR button
3) Put a PNG and a GIF image in the image library. (My images both have palettes with transparency.)
Now attach and detach theses images from the RR button (apparently the RR button doesn't support them and they don't show up on the button) Hit the compile and run button. At some point the problem shows up. Sometimes when the image is first attached, sometimes when it is changed or detached from the control.
When the problem occurs, you see the PB progress bar, but when the "Compiler Results" dialog box opens at the end of the compile, it is blank except for the OK button and the information icon. When you click OK, the dialog closes but the program never runs.

I am seeing the same thing except I was using a bitmap for a form background. I "think" my issue started when I move the project from the original folder to a new one using the "create new folder" option. I don't think I removed the background image bitmap from the form, but I was experimenting and trying to get familar with FF, so anything is possible. I can try doing a folder comparison from the original and the new and see if anything there sticks out as being different.
HTH,
Gary
