>>I am successfully running both VFP 7 SP1 and VFP 9 SP2 on my "old" XP machine. I now have a new machine running Vista. I installed VFP 9 successfully successfully on the new machine from my original VFP disk, but my VFP 7 disk doesn't work (read errors) any more.

I didn't even think of that. Sound like a good idea, but I would like a quicker solution if one is available.

I do have other software (tax, stocks, etc.) where the system is downloaded from the net, and it gets activated with a purchared Key. I was hoping that a similar approach could be used here. If I can, great, but a fresh disk is now on my list of things to do too.
