Ken - yes, the systems guy here DID do it - and it DID work to fix the problem.
So - for a little more details on what he did. Go into Control Panel, then Programs and Features, Select M$ VFP, in the VFP Setup window that appears - Option #2 lists Repair. I believe THAT is what you need to run - as I believe that's what the systems guy here did. He didn't give me full details I just wrote here - he just mentioned VFP Repair. But, I do think THAT is what he did.

Or did you try Doug's >suggestion? Am curious... Doug's suggestion requires one to know the precise name of the specific offending control or other registry item, and where it was stored in the file system. I don't have any way of knowing that. Looking back at all the posts on this at the Leafe.com archive, I don't find any explanation of "VFP Repair" other than your mention that someone you work with was going to do one. I thought there was another post that explained in more detail what that meant, but I can't find it now, so I don't know what "VFP Repair" means. Thanks.
