>>I have a problem site where our apps used to run but now no longer do. The user claims "nothing has changed" :) Anyway, after trying a few things and always getting the same result we wrote a one line program to display a messagebox() only. Compiled to exe and tried to run it. Same result - a message box pops up (not ours) with title "Program Error" and message "Invalid path or file name". Buttons Cancel, Ignore, and Help. None of these help - the program crashes with c5 error.

Hi Hugo. I forgot to mention that this is a single users PC, not over a network. I have checked that he has a valid temp folder (rw) and the appropiate environment variable pointing to it. I have checked rw status for all required folders. But if even a single line VFP app will not run it implies something in the VFP and/or OS environment. Of course something has changed, could be trojan or spyware. :)
