>>As was mentioned elsewhere on this thread, the problem is that the tmp files were sent to a drive that doesn't exist on the target PC. First, in you're CONFIG.FPW file add a line to indicate a directory for the tmp files on your local drive (such as: TMPFILES=C:\FOXPROW\). Just to be sure that all references are removed, I would open the project as a table and issue: REPLACE ALL OBJECT WITH "". Close the table, open the project normally, and re-compile. That should fix it.

Hi Dave,

The reason I know about this is that I accidentally (don't ask how or why, it's almost embarassing) changed the location of the tmp files to my D: hard drive. All of a sudden, folks started having this problem. When I took the steps I mentioned to Martin, it got fixed.

At least with GENPD.APP, we had the source code and project and could re-compile. I even modified that one so that it would recognize the system variable (I can't remember the name) that could be set for various pitches. All I had do then was open the report as a table, get the number of columns, set the system variable, and I was in business.
