Thank you for the suggestions, Bill. I am writing them all down and follow up.

>Logging in as administrator isn't always the same as right clicking the exe and selecting "Run as administrator"

>>The customer tells me that he is logged into the PC as administrator. Hopefully when I connect remotely next week I will be able to verify it (though don't know how). As far as XP, other computers on their network with OS XP and even Windows 7 work. So it must be something to do with this specific instance of Windows 7.
>>Thank you.

>>>Did you try running it as an administrator?
>>>Another shot in the dark might be to start an XP session on the computer to see if that will run it.

>>>>>>Again, a customer is having a problem running VFP 9 application. When they start the application .EXE file they get the window DO and the File of type shows "Program (*fxp)". I have tried several different .EXE programs (different programs but all built with VFP 9). The customer also tried to reinstall Windows 7 completely. The strange thing is when they reboot the computer the program(s) work one time (no problem). When they close a program and start again, the problem with DO *.FXP appears again until they reboot the computer.

>>>>>Did you check the "errors" when you build the project? Check if there are any files missing in the project. Also check that the programs are included in the project. If you are using macro or any indirect way of running a prg, be sure that said prg is included in the project, if the project includes other applications, check for the same issues in the other projects too.

>>>>You see, the problem (of DO *.FRX) happens if we run any VFP 9 executable. I tried several. I think if I make a "Hello World" executable, we would have the same problem. Also, the same application(s) runs on many other computers of this customer computers and many computers of other customers. So, as much as I am sure, there are bugs in the application, this particular problem is brought about by something on this particular PC (hardware or some setting in Windows 7).
