>I have a client who has about 42 workstations loaded with the VFP SP1 runtime files and small EXE program which calls an app on the server through an ini file. By changing the name of the app in the ini file, I can make changes to the app any time and install a new version without having the users get out.

You'll have to get the SP2 dlls to all the PCs at least. You should know that if you're leaving the app on the server, that is slower than having it copied to the PCs. Not only that, but if it gets copied to the pcs at launch, you will always be able to put up a new release without doing anything.

>>SP2 has been working like a top at this end for me and my customers. Just make sure to uninstall VFP and then reinstall VFP 9.0 RTM (original CD) and then immediately upgrade the RTM to SP2. The possibility that one of the known bugs in SP2 will turn out to be a showstopper for you are extremely slim - IMHO.
