>The applications that were created (in foxpro 2.6 Win or less) do not run if opened in an NT environment. NT generates error messages and eventually causes the application to abend. My system has a duel boot, NT and Win95. In order to run, modify, and test older applications I have to reboot into Win95.

All I can tell you is to be hopeful that they CAN work, because I've been working on an NT workstation on an NT network for just over a year, and I've been working on several old apps from FPD 2.0, FPD 2.5, and one from FPW 2.6. They have all run fine with only one problem: the FPW app used an IsDiskIn() function to check for a floppy in the disk drive which wouldn't work in NT. I rewrote the function using a more flexible method including an API call via FoxTools. Other than that one function, there was no problem running the app.

I know I'm not helping you solve your problem here, but I'm saying this to give you hope that your FPW program should be workable in NT. Good luck!
