I know this may not be an issue that falls in your arena, but until your sites install that simple NLM, they'll have much bigger problems than accommodating your VFP application - that is, if they're using Win95, 98 or NT.

Putting it simply, they will not be able to use descriptive file names in ANY of their production applications - yech.
