Hi Agnes,

so was I (however, first half only, second half in 2 weeks)
I hope your recreation will last longer than your first day at work... ;-)

'til now I couldn't reproduce a functional solution as it worked in my first attempt. But as we are still using VFP9SP1 it might help to give SP2 a try. Did you do that already?

It's really weird... I then changed the positions of the preview and builder app including paths and also setting an explicit path to the frx but the preview app isn't able to find the frx anymore.
