Paul, This sounds suspiciously like the problem I reported with FTP downloaded files "disappearing" even though I watched the FTP download and the file created. Right after FTP finishes, the next instruction, the file disappeared from Windows Explorer and I'm getting file not found in VFP. I didn't try your additional test to see if the file is really there, but it might be (VFP's FILE() function doesn't see it).

Wouldn't get to test again for a little while, but I want to try Jeff Johnson's suggestion of using \users\public\myapplication as the target for the download Bill > Hi All, > > Just got off the phone from our dealer in Ireland. > > They're on-site upgrading our app from DOS to Windows. > Everything is going OK except on a Vista PC.
