I copied the application file, MyApp.exe, to the same name and extension .fxp - MyApp.fxp. And now user can select this file, MyApp.fxp when prompted to DO a program. And the application works.

>>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.
