We created a program that has a mix of forms and hard coding that has a .prg file as our main file. Now when we compile and run it within Foxpro it runs fine, with the interface console/form staying open after compile and run. But when we converted it into a .exe file, it just runs the first login and just exits onto desktop. Our program console does not stay open. Please advise.

You are missing a READ EVENTS.
Read the help on this very important command.
In short:
Create a prg where you set your environment and instance your main menu and/or form.
* Main.prg
SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
SET MULTILOCKS ON
* etc
DO MENU MiMenu
DO FORM MiForm
READ EVENTS
* here goes cleanup code
QUIT
In the Exit option in your form or menu you do a CLEAR EVENTS. That takes you out of the running program and gets you back to Main.prg to clean up and quit.
Also look at help for ON SHUTDOWN.
