The invisible folders/files are in the VFP9 folder. I can create new files in the folder and see them there. But when I query the folder from Fox (DIR *.*) I see not only the file I created, but the ones I should be seeing from the File Explorer.

While I have not found the source of the problem, but I have resolved it by restoring the folders and files from a backup. Only lost a days work. Oh well, its better then wrestling with it.

Thanks for all the help.
