>I built a vfp .exe file being used by over 100 different users on different machines throughout the state. All are running without error except one customer. Here's the odd part: he has two Gateways on a windows 95 peer to peer. Both have the very same problem.

Unfortunately I have no solution to your problem - just simpathy as I have had similar problems. I had to back off to VFP 5 to fix my delivery. Ther has been some discussion about the problem ref 167469. This thread refreances other threads on the subject.

The thrust of the discussion revolves around HP printer drivers but as you have observed ( and I suspected but didn't take the time to prove ) you are using a generic printer driver. The problem seems to be deeper in VFP.

One note. Have you installed the service pack? The label on the disk I got said "don't distribute any applications untill you install this disk". It didnot seem to help me but maybe ...

Microsoft seems to be working on the problem if I read the threads correctly but we may have no choice but to be patient.

Sorry I couldn't offer more help

It is impossible to make programs idiot proof. Idiots are too cleaver.
