Hey there RK & Bill,
Gotta say - it's funny and Ironic that you guys would write what you did. Since I just KNEW that someone would respond with the suggestion of GoFish. I Knew it - and knew folks would say it would be fast! As I saw this exact same reply in the Tek-Tips thread where the other guy reported the problem.
Of course, maybe I should implement it into my own FoxPro menu system - maybe under Tools as well - for quick access. I suspect Others have already done that! Am I wrong?
I will try and give Go-Fish a shot right now.

Kurt,
I've seen this - where Code References just NoOps. Quit/restart VFP. And Go-Fish provides a wealth of features.

Hello there Fellow Pro-Foxers!
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend.
So, I've been having this REALLY Weird problem!!!
I was recently trying to run the Code References Tool - but, something
Odd
happened. As in - Nothing happened! And, I tried it a bunch of times.
Now, at the time - I had this particular project opened on my screen -
and
I wanted to obviously search it. But, it was a No Go. Then, last week I tried it again - but, I was in a different session of VFP, and I was
trying
to do a search on a Different project. When an odd thing happened - I
got a
warning saying this other project was already opened. And, indeed that project was opened in another session of VFP. I was like - WTF - that
makes
no sense! So, I went into that other session of VFP, closed down that project - and SURE Enough - when I tried to open the Code References
Tool -
instead, it literally just opened up this one project.
It just didn't seem to make sense. So, last week I was looking into this problem - searched the issue on the web - closest I got was a response by Tamara suggesting that this person recompile the FoxRef project. This was the link to the person reporting the problem:
https://www.tek-tips.com/threads/vfp9-code-references-problem.1639205/
I actually DID try and recompile the FoxRef project, but - it turns out I got an error where it could not properly read one of the forms. Even
when I
tried to directly open the Form - I could not open the file.
But, I figured I would try something - and, I WAS Indeed able to actually Run the FoxRef App - and I WAS able to actually do searches. However,
it's
weird that I have run the App directly instead of from the menu system.
I was just looking around A LOT in the VFP Help - but, can't seem to easily figure out how I can see if a menu system somehow got corrupted. Which seems it Must be the case. I even looked around to see if maybe the FoxPro config file got corrupted - but, I already found out there is NO Config in use.
So, if anyone can give me a pointer on how to fix this problem - that would be awesome!
