All,
I found the answer for preventing the compatibility dialog from appearing on
VFP 9 executables.
The manifest built in to the EXE needs to be updated to include this section:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"
uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
I came to the conclusion after reading this blog post
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/05/17/2705372.aspx
and testing the level set to "asInvoker".
Calvin Hsia has information on updating the manifest:

As well as Craig Boyd:

However, if you are building your EXE's with VFP 9 SP 2, you only need to have
the manifest file in the directory named correctly as described by Rick Strahl

I don't build my EXE with VFP 9 SP 2, so I don't get the <trustInfo> section in
the built in manifest.
I hope this helps others.
