Dan,


I was thinking about you a short while back while re-writing a Codebook 2.6 app in VFP. Good to see that you are alive and well still coding.

Have you compared the versions of msvcr*.* on the offending machines with those in the distrib.src directory of the development machine or those in use in the sites where the problem doesn't occur?
