Wayne,

Two remarks,

a. When using a launcher app that runs the app locally you won't have that problem
b. There is a SYS(2450) setting that forces VFP to look inside of the EXE first rather than the network paths. You might want to try that.

Walter,

>We have an application that has been in existence for the last 7-8 years. The code has evolved from the DOS version all the way up to VFP-8 SP2. We have one client that is experiencing network slowdown of the app.
>
>The clients IT department has conducted network sniffer tests and they reveal that the application (executable compiled) is making IO calls to directories that exist only in our development environment for example.."/libs,/progs". The actual application when installed does NOT have these directories.
>
>Can anyone explain why a compiled executable distributed would have these sniffer results that are displaying our development environment?
