>I am maintaining a project built in 2.5. We converted it to 2.6 and it was preforming fine; but as user changed hardware, I started getting errors about the E: drive. Since most users did not have a CD Rom, the error did not show on their screens. However, now most of the users have a CD Rom and I am getting an error for the drive. We tried using FixDrive.prg, this failed since all references are to a server drive (N:). So we tried the 'Replace all objects with "" ' in the project table. Now we are getting an error "Cannot locate FoxPro Support Library".

You might check the config.fp (or config.fpw) to make sure any reference to the network drive is correct. Also, a path statement might be setting it to something other than what you expect. I set up the path early in my main menu program so the path is [drive]:\(where .exe is);[drive]:\(path to network and data). I had the cdrom problem due to short-sightedness when I first started, but now I make my common network drive for my data the x: drive and the directory called 'working'. This precludes the problem as I can add many cdrom or additional hard drives and still not get to the x: drive. Another is the the the lastdrive command in config.sys. Most systems default to d or e, you need lastdrive= (at least N if that is your network drive). Hope this helps.
