I checked the registry and found "(Default) REG_SZ Visual.Foxpro.Program" and 'Contact Type REG_SZ application/prg". I also checked the same location on my laptop which works normally and it has completely different data. Maybe this is because the hot fixes have not been installed.
The version number on this system is 7423. I believe this means it has been fully updated. I initially understood that VFP9SPRT was to update Service Packs and Hot Fixes all at once. When I discovered this does not work I switched to separate files. Is it possible that that misadventure may be the cause of my issues? I should mention that My VFP Task Bar shortcut includes a "-c SetDefault" Parameter. Setdefault.prg is a program that sets the default to the value returned from a GETDIR(). This allows me to invoke VFP from anywhere but I get control only after the Folder I want to work in is selected. This works properly. When I navigate to a folder with a .PRJ file and select the .PRJ, The project manager comes up and the default is set to the folder containing the .PRJ - all is well. When I find a random .PRG file and select it, Foxpro attempts to run the code but usually fails because of something like a reference to an index file. This happens because the Default is still pointing at C:. .DBF files fail the same way. More ideas?
