>this led me to believe that it had to be something in the foxuser.dbf files, so I deleted the foxuser.dbf files on the local drives. I have now found that running the program directly, instead of using the loader program, it works right. Keep in mind all other recent changes to the exe are showing, just not the menu.

Hmmmmm, sounds to me like time to delete and reinstall fox and all it's associates.....

I've found in the past that bizarre problems are often best dealt with by reinstallation. As you're running over a server it's probably a little too extreme to reinstall the operating system...

Could it be a hardware problem?? Sometimes "not quite broken" hardware does bizarre things. I had a notebook with a cracked system board that did the strangest things..... just a thought...
