I found that the problem was solved when I updated the VFP DLL's on my clients machines, after recompiling the application in 5.0a. The setup wizard should have done this, but you might want to double check.

Right click on vfp500.dll, and vfp5enu.dll in the windows system directory of the users who are having a problem and check the verion numbers of these files. They should be 5.0a (Build 402) or greater. (You might want to check your development machine as well.)
