>>Here's the bit, weird as it sounds:

>>I have a VFP app running on an NT server. When I run the compiled EXE on my machine, I see a full-blown menu with a Tools pad that contains six options. When I run the app on the server on site, same thing. BUT when I run the app on a work station, the Tools pad only shows two options--an earlier version of the menu. WHAT IS GOING ON???

>Are U sure that U do not have another "Older" copy of the app on the NT box. Or is the NT box mapped to another incorrect drive where an older version of the app resides? The possiblity of a corrupt menu (MNU) or EXE file also come into the picture. Check both of these. Many moons ago, I had a corrupt FPD 2.x EXE that drove me crazy. After re-compiling, the problems just disappeared. So, it is worth checking out. Also, using the setup wiz did U select all of the correct options. For example, Required files (Win 95, Win 3.x, Win NT) on the second page of the setup wiz. This may be another area to investigate. htwh Steve

Steve: Thanks for the excellent suggestions. The reason this is all so weird to me is that other changes that I make (this is an on-going project) show up. Only the menu won't change. I am constantly re-compiling (BUILDing) the EXE. The correct options is Setup is interesting: the EXE resides on an NT server with WIN95 and Windows 3.11 stations. I installed the program on each machine using the appropriate setup-generated files for the targeted Windows version. But when I re-compile the EXE thereafter, I simply do a re-build and do not re-install the whole program. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I get around it? When I install, the setup wizard copies all of the files, including the non-current data files. I can't re-install this thing every time . . . .????

Again, thanks a lot for the help!
