>>Any Ideas?

I had vfp500.dll and vfp5enu.dll in the same directory as the projects and exe I was trying to launch from explorer. The 2 dlls were from a different version of VFP than I am running (applied a service pack, had to reinstall vfp5.0 and have not yet reapplied the service pack).

Thanks for your help
