I don't know what the answer is, but I can confirm a similar problem. When I read your message, I went to my Network Neighborhood and tried to run an exe out on one of the NT network servers. The app started but I got a message "blah blah... mco.dbc not found". I went to the mapped drive and everything ran fine.


>Here's a strange one (to me, anyway). I put an EXE created with VFP in a directory on an NT Server. If I map the drive and go to the mapped drive in explorer and double-click the EXE all is well. Now I go into network neighborhood and find the share where the EXE is located. When I double-click the EXE from the share I get an error that says "MyApp.exe not found" (even though I double-clicked myapp.exe).

Never engage in a battle of wits if you're only half armed.
