I had previously posted a question regarding this topic, but have not
had time to explore it further until now.  It is something that I am
doing but I cannot find out what it is.


Here are the steps I take to try to use VX....


1) Open VX

2) File > New > Win 32 Application
	Name: TestTest

3) Double click on main.prg and modify main() to be:
	PROCEDURE main
	  MsgBox("Hi There")
	  //** tried this too: QUIT
	RETURN

4) Save and hit F9 to run it.

5) Now I get my message that says "Hi There"

6) Build application CTRL+F9

7) Captured Error:
	You do not have write access to the following Targets:
		C:\Alaska\xppw32\projects\testtest\testtest.exe
	It is recommended to close all application that have the file locked.

so what am I doing wrong between step 5 and step 6?  It happens to me
on every computer I have tried using it on.

Thanks,

Richard,
this issue has been addressed (more or less) recently!
You should have no problem when skipping step 4 (and 5).
This means, that the output file is in use (by the debugger) and cannot be 
rebuild. IIRC there should be an option in one menu to tick/select to change 
this behaviour.

Martin

Richard,
sorry - finally found that thread and it was you! Just saw, that it did not 
help you then either.
Sorry,
Martin

What are you doing between step 5 and 6 to stop the application?  I tried
what you said and had no problem quitting my app by clicking on the cross in
the upper left corner.

Between 5 and 6 I do nothing.  The entire test application is:
	> PROCEDURE main
	>   MsgBox("Hi There")
	>   //** tried this too: QUIT
	> RETURN

So the application does not have a gui window to X on... It should
run the application then terminate the application after the MsgBox.
But for some reason the EXE stays locked and I cannot access the EXE
to compile or do file operations on it.  It is not in my processes
list either.

Check your debugger options : "general "
                                                "rebuild Options
                                                        If Target has "Debug
Info "   try by selecting "Ask"

Thanks Miguel, 
	It was already set to ask.

Here is what my project file looks like... maybe there is a setting
here that is causing the issue?

[PROJECT]
    VERSION       = 2.0
    OPENFILES     = main.PRG
    Project.xpj

[Project.xpj]
    TestTest.exe

[TestTest.exe]
    COMPILE       = xpp
    COMPILE_FLAGS = /es /ga /wi /wl /wu /q /w
    DEBUG         = yes
    GUI           = yes
    LINKER        = alink
    LINK_FLAGS    =
    RC_COMPILE    = arc
    RC_FLAGS      = /v
 $START-AUTODEPEND
    main.obj
 $STOP-AUTODEPEND
    main.PRG

Hi Richard,

maybee that is a really stupid question, but: After Step 5 do you exit that
messagebox? You don't mention that step.

If not it should still run (and in use), and than you certainly get that
error message.

Regards,

Jan
