Hi all,

Ran into this a while back but still no solution. This has started occurring at a client's site after they switched from XP to Win 7.

Scenario: if a user puts a CD/DVD in their drive to retrieve a file, after *removing* the dvd, they start getting this message when opening forms:

"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D:" (Cancel, Try again, Continue)

Title on dialog is "mk.exe - No Disk", which is the .exe for my app so it is definitely being thrown from the app.

Only way around it is for the user to a) reboot computer or b) stick a dvd back in the drive for the rest of the day.

It seems that somehow Windows/VFP is adding on the D: drive as a search path and so every form that is opened wants to search that drive from that point onward.

Anyone seen this?

Thanks,

Albert
