>I ran across this problem several years ago, but I can't remember how I fixed it, I'm hoping it sparks someones memory.

>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.

>Placing a cd-rom in the drive makes the app happy, but the client always have to leave a CD in the drive.

>So:
>1) If the client has no D: drive (E-Z), the app is OK.
>2) If the client has a hard disk as D:, the app is OK.
>3) If D: is a CD-ROM, and there is no disk in the drive, KABOOM!
>4) Moving the CD-ROM to another drive letter, the app is OK.

>I believe there is a reference in the project somewhere. Does anyone else remember how to fix this?

>Any help is greatly appreciated
