SYMPTOMS
========
A "Source out of Date" error message occurs.

CAUSE
=====
This error indicates that the source program has been changed, but not
recompiled or generated. 

RESOLUTION
==========
To solve this problem, regenerate the program by opening the source
file and choosing Generate from the Program menu. 
If the program is part of a project, open the project and select the
Build option. Then select the Rebuild Project and the Rebuild All
options. Rebuild the project and recreate the application.
If this doesn't work, scan all the subdirectories for occurrences of
the source and object code. Delete the extra files and regenerate the
program.

MORE INFORMATION
================
FoxPro first creates and then runs a compiled version of a program
file. This compiled version is called an object file and runs faster
than a noncompiled version. This feature cannot be disabled.
Compiled files in FoxPro will have the following extensions:
   .FXP - Compiled version of program with .PRG extension.
   .APP - Compiled application program.
   .QPX - Compiled version of program with .QPR extension.
   .MPX - Compiled version of program with .MPR extension.
   .SPX - Compiled version of program with .SPR extension.
   .PRX - Compiled version of program with .FMT extension.
