>>Hi folks, I'm confident this question has been discussed before but I've not been around a lot lately and haven't seen this discussed. So my question is: Are there any issues with running VFP9 on Win7? The reason I ask is I'm about to get a new box and need to decide which OS (XP vs Win7) I want installed. So any insights will be appreciated.

Well folks, I have made the switch and I have found one problem that has me really stumped, although I'm not sure if its a win7 problem or something related to the new configuration. I have a file, userdata.dbf, that I routinely use to keep local info about the user. There are lots of these floating around on my box. At least one for each project. I have found that when I copy this file to a new location, (like to the desktop or a network server) it usually appears to copy properly, but when I open it, the new copy contains old data, not the current data that was in the original. The new copy is the correct file, not one from another project, but the data is wrong. It's like windows is providing the new copy from an old casche somewhere and not from the original source.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? It's maddening.
