Interesting find - when I elevate VFP to use administrator, I no longer have access to my mapped drives from within foxpro. Must be because those are mapped using my "regular" credentials and since VFP is now running under a different account, Windows blocks access to those drives. That is, I could not do:

USE F:\Claims\Apps.dbf

once VFP was elevated. If I went out to Win explorer, the table is there. But if I try to browse to it from within VFP, even issuing

USE ?

the dialog would come up and for a second, you could see the mapped drive and then it disappeared.

I will set the shortcut back to not use the administrator level and just live with the dialog regarding the registry - it would not be the first or only time I have had to click through a dialog box :-)
