>I have developed an application for a small client server network (5 work stations). The application was created, works fine on the the workstation that it was set up on. The application runs in a directory called c:\campharmonyin and stores the data on a mapped network drive h:\ that is on the server.

One or more OLE automation servers and/or ActiveX controls are not properly installed on the workstations. You need to register all the automation servers and ActiveX controls on each station, and there may be system-level .DLLs required at each station as well. In addition, some of VFP's own components require registration, so that simply copying files is not an adequate approach to installation.

At a minimum, the runtime and ActiveX controls must be properly installed on each station to make it work. It's likely that once this is done, copying other app components in place will work. Both VFP and the operating system support long file names and network drive mappings, so as long as these are set properly at each station, you'll porbably be OK.

If you haven't already done so, download the updated VFP 6 Setup Wizard files from Microsoft's site and try to create a Setup Wizard install with the latest release.

I'd also ensure that all stations have at least NT's SP3 installed on them.
