Edward,

Thanks for the response.

We have many different customers using this application for the past year. So far only 1 reported this problem.

However, I am able to reproduce this problem on one of our laptops running a different VFP3b application. However this time, I placed a totally unrelated CD in the CD drive and the application works. Without a CD in the drive, I get a "Input/Output Operation Failure".

In both applications, I run the EXE out of one directory and SET PATH TO a DATA directory in one app and a CD-Rom directory in another app.

Again, the error only occurs on 2 PCs in the past year.

Thanks,

Jerryt
