I am having an issue with a client, and have verified the following by phone three times.

I have a folder that contains 68 report files, and it is in its own folder titled EFARPTS within the application folder. So, it is like this:

C:\CPRGLOC\EFARPTS

I noticed this folder was completely empty to my amasement, so I copied from CD the EFARPTS with its 69 report files back to the proper location, then browsed the folder to verify the files were there. Yes, they were there.

Then I had the client start my app, tried to run one of the reports and got an error that an alias was missing (which was an alias within one of the 68 report files).

I had them exit the program, and... although the EFARPTS folder was still there, all 68 files are no longer there. By the way, there is NO erase routine with the app to do this.

I am able to duplicate this over and over.

Any suggestions as to what could be going on here?

P.S. - I have VISTA more by the day.
