Lew, Just a few pointers. 1. Permissions will probably be your biggest problem if you store or try to store data in the "Program Files" folder. Ideally set up the application program and its associated data if any in its own folder off the root.
2. The dreaded user access control which keeps on prompting if you run the VFP program off a network share. Not difficult to remove if you place the network share in the trusted zone in Internet explorer....this is not immediately obvious! 3. Opening DBC's on network shares for some reason seems to take an absolute age (VFP9) compared with XP. This, you will propbably find, is down to the anti-virus, so you should exclude dbf, fpt, cdx, dbc, dct, dcx file types from being scanned on opening. This will only help but not completely cure the problem. 4. In development mode if you run VFP with administrator privileges and use OLE Drag/Drop within your application then this WILL NOT WORK!! To sort the problem then just run VFP development in standard mode. 5. The VFP Taskpane will not work without an update of Microsoft XML and the VFP9 Soap toolkit. 6. If you use any registered ActiveX controls (.OCX) then make sure you register them using the command line but with admin privileges i.e open up the command prompt as administrator. Other than that off the top of my head I can't think of anything else. If and when I do I'll let you know.

I'm the only vfp developer, but there are a number of Access & Excel devs as well. Are there any obvious (or not so obvious) gotchas? I realize that the list has been discussing this for some time, but, pigheaded slug that I am, I don't pay any attention until I've actually got to deal with it.
