>We have a FPD 2.6 executable that somehow wants to access every clients CD-ROM (D:) drive. If the client does not have a CD-ROM in the drive, they receive "ERROR READING DRIVE D:, abort, retry fail? " in the application. Our application does not have any forms on D: or anything in the project pointing to D:, There is not PATH= to D:, or any reference to D: we have found anywhere.
