Yes, I am! I am using _ShellExecute. It is found in \FFC. I included the "registry" class (also found in \FFC) in my application, rebuilt it and that seems to have solved my problem. I was using the thumb drive as a test only to see if it would run on various boxes. Unfortunately for me, this was the first time one of my apps included something from \FFC that wasn't running on my VFP box.

Thank you all for your clever and timely replys!!
