>Well, nothing with VFP installed. I do have a 9-year-old notebook that still runs. It would take a couple of hours to install all of the necessary software and patches but I've already wasted 3 weeks so it's probably worth a try, especially since I can't think of anything else. :-(

Decidedly odd since I am not aware of any .h files used in this application, and the app certainly nothing to do with farms. It is for a legal office! I searched the project and there is no reference to it. Ideas?

Well, one of the forms or libraries does indeed reference this file. I can suggest to make sure to remove that file from the path and try to manually (you can try to write a simple loop) compile every form and every class and see which one gives that error.
