>Ran VFP as Administrator and that did fix the problem...Guess that's Microsoft going Security nuts again..Annoying considering no problem with Network or Web files..

Actually it's the other way around :-) Security is a potential issue on a local machine because you can use ActiveX objects on the client in IE. Microsoft's fix is to make it hard to run script in local applications, rather than disabling ActiveX which is a like using a chainsaw to remove a twig, but hey :-)

Another option that should work more reliably is to use the Web Browser control in a form. You can use basically the same functionality and get a different security environment. It's a little more work but you also get a lot more control. Plus in IE9 Microsoft broke COM instantiation of IE - COM loaded instances don't appear to be unloading after they are released.
