Hi Craig,

I agree with you about the UAC and have been using "run as admin" to get around the problem. The weird thing is that now if I run VFP like normal and build the exe I don't get the problem! I even tried recompiling all files just to make sure and still no problem!

Now I'm very confused, but happy it's working.


>Don't disable UAC. IMO, that's bad advice as your customers could run into problems that you won't see in your testing. UAC is there for a reason. Instead, when you launch VFP, don't just click on it. Right-click and select "Run as Administrator"
