Ah, thanks Alan.

He mentioned something about the pif file earlier. But this is an older man, a busman, and he doesn't want to be goofing with the pif files, and I wasn't prepared to try and drag him through it. But if I'd had this info earlier it may have saved my sending him yet another floppy (which I've done now).

Tant pis.

And yes - I'd forgotten about those :-)

>Does the program have a related '.pif' file (remember those)? If it does, check it's (the pif file) properties and make sure that 'run in dos mode', or whatever the heck it was called, is unchecked.

>>He hits a key and the computer reboots.

>>Now, it's possible I built this system using FoxproX, rather than Foxpro. Could this be the reason? As in my other thread today, this is the same system that many clients are/were happily using. This is embarrassing as this was meant to fix a wee bug he had (to do with the printing to a file from the other message) but now it's catastrophic.
