What setting is causing me to generate a pass.wfv file when I run a program from the command window in dB 5.7?

Bob,

I think that's the coverage setting. In the Command Window type "Set".
Click on the "Programming" tab. Under "Program Development" you will see
a checkbox for "Coverage".

That, unfortunately, was not it. The box was unchecked. I do have a pass.wfm that requests a password when the app starts, but it hasn't changed since "the flood". And the .wfv doesn't appear when the .exe file is run, only when you run from the command window with a do program.prg.

Bob,

Try recompiling everything. You may have had SET COVERAGE turned on in
the past.

Well, that was it, but I had to modify and save the wfm; recompiling didn't make it go away.

Pass.wfm is for a user & password, and if I moved from ef1 to ef2 using TAB, the .wfv would be created, but if I used Enter it would not.

Bob,

Deleting the .wfo/.wfv and recompiling would probably have worked, too.
But, in any case, it is gone. Thanks for the success report.

You may be right. I only issued a compile pass.wfm, without deleting either the wfo or the wfv. Too late to test it now, but thanks for your help on that one. Is it good practice to delete a wfo (pro, mno, etc.) before compiling again? Or only if you are having a problem with a module?

Bob,

Delete them only if you are having a problem. The compiler may skip
recompiling if it sees the existing compiled version of your program and
(mistakenly) does not think your program has changed since the last
compile.
