John,

Several questions:

(1) Are you being told to do this by Microsoft's legal department?

(2) Is this the official policy of UT?

(3) Does Microsoft intend to take action against people posting fixes to problems Microsoft cannot or will not address, or making those fixes available to people who desperately need them but can't get Microsoft to provide the necessary support? (no, telling someone to buy VFP6 isn't an answer, especially if they don't have source code and aren't programmers.)

My future responses to your posting on this matter, as well as whether I will continue participating as a paying member of UT, depend on your answers to the above questions.

If so, this is one of a host of problems that occur with FoxPro 2.6 applications. there are a number of patches available to fix the problem. Try http://www.abri.com/foxpro.html; they have the patches available for 333+MHz on-line there.
