>>First, thank you. I can't imagine it. I replaced the .EXE several times during the past many weeks. And the same .EXE works for many other customers without this DO "issue". And when I connect to the server via RDP and run the .EXE from the command prompt, it works perfect. So it must be something in the user PC environment. But I can't figure out what.

I know you are half-joking (hence the smiley). But I can't imagine this either. Why would a virus prompt to open .FRX instead of .EXE?
