Prior to Windows 7, Notes was installed in c:\notes, so your code was satisfied after the first if condition - which is why your code worked before.

I would hazard the guess that, under Win 7, it now installs in 'c:\program files\lotus\notes\' .
If this is the case, as James replied, you would need to check using:
FILE('"c:\program files\lotus\notes\notes.exe"') etc.
In other words, using quotation marks within quotation marks - the inner ones allow VFP to understand that the spaces are past of the pathname and/or filemane.
