>>If the users are using Win3.1x, you had better not install the win32s shipped with the VFP3.0. It won't be working well. You should get the 1.30 (or higher) version of win32s, and istall it instead. This version is available on MS TechNet CD-s, and perhaps in SOFTLIB library on the MS FTP site.

What is wrong with the win32s supplied?

For example:
- when the program tries to use MESSAGEBOX(...), machine will be stop.
- when the program tries to use any other tools like this (e.g: Printer setup, internal error message, ...) machine will be frozen.
- when you try to use REPORT FORM ...., it will say: "PRINTER NOT READY", even if you direct the list into a FILE and not to the printer;

Do you want any more? There are some.

Having installed the 1.30 version the problems went away.
But there is an other problem. The application works very slowly with WIN3.1x. I have tried the same app on the same machine (486, 16 MB RAM) with the same data under Win3.1+win32s and Win95. The difference in speed was unbelievable!

I think running an VFP application under Windows3.1x is not a good idea. Unless the users can have Pentium and at least 32MB RAM in machines.
I'm really sorry.
Rising in the morning I would like to make something new
