not entirely true - a wrx is a compound document that has streams of data in it. It is possible to create a .wrx if you know what data to put where. Years ago I wrote an Appbuilder-type application and part of that functionality was the ability to create .wrx files http://www.peg.com/forums/peg/200001/msg00238.html Julian On 3 June 2014 06:59, jongpau wrote: Mike is right, you can only create a wrx file from the AppBuilder. From reading your post it appears that you have "lost" a wrx file for an existing .w? Other than grabbing the wrx from the latest production build of your application or from a backup of your source you can try to do the following: Create a new .w and drop the same ActiveX control(s) on the window. You should be able to easily find what controls were used by trawling through the source and finding the section where the control frames are created. Once you save your new .w you can simple copy the wrx to the right directory and rename it to the missing one. Where you could get into some trouble is the fact that any ActiveX property settings that were made for the .w that misses the wrx will be lost as these get saved in the wrx. Hope this helps, Paul
