It almost feels like Microsoft made a subtle change that impacted on VFP's ability to handle paths. Issue 1: MPRIOR_CK - variable not found. made it public and program worked. Program then behaved differently when run under the dev license vs running the exe. Worked fine when I ran it under VFP 9 dev license but not when I ran NOVA.EXE. It could not find novahelp.dbf. Then I changed to the full reference and it did find it. It is possible that MPRIOR_CK is initialized from a mem file that could no longer be found due to no being able to find it.

Wes: This is probably not what you want to hear, but I always specify full paths and do not rely on the VFP path. I store them in configuration files. That way I don't get mixed up with moving my applications to any environment.
