-----Original Message----- Are you sure you don't ALSO have SP1 runtimes somewhere on that system, left over from before you installed SP2? As someone said, VFP can find its runtimes in several ways, through the path or through the registry. We have always avoided the problem by putting the (correct) runtimes in the same directory as the .exe. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/7D422067127E4130B3DC090D6FDE19C0@gslredacer ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
