Thanks for the quick response.

I think I just figured it out, being a new instalation the taskpane was set to run as a startup application. This was what was causing it to fail.

Pre Edit ********************************

The VFPFilter.prg is very simple just for testing and doesn't actually do much yet.

SET SAFETY OFF
=STRTOFILE('Test','C:\Scripts\VFPTest.log')
SET SAFETY ON
RETURN

Just these 2 lines of code in a script file will create the error.

Dim oFox
Set oFox = CreateObject("VisualFoxPro.Application")

I just tried this under Windows XP Pro and on a Windows 2000 client, and it seems to work fine, so the problem seems to relate only to my Windows Server 2000 (SBS) instalation. This is a new instalation of VFP which I upgraded to SP1.

Any Ideas

John
