I thought I'd seen messages about a patch for this problem within the past few months, but I just failed to find anything about it by searching.

You know the problem where, if you compile an APP or EXE in FPW 2.6 on a computer with a CD-ROM drive, and a user runs it on a computer with a CD-ROM drive, but they don't have a CD-ROM in their drive, they get an "Error reading drive (cd-rom):" error if certain FoxPro commands are executed (even though you don't specifically reference the CD-ROM drive in your code, because certain FoxPro 2.x/Win commands hit Win95/WinNT API functions which sequentially hit all drive letters or something like that.)

I thought I saw that there was a patch to the FoxProW.exe which was supposed to fix the problem. Was I dreaming? Microsoft's KB has articles which refer to the problem (Q108165, Q120246) and suggest that you change all your users' CD-ROMs to drive Z: as a solution, but they don't mention a patch.

If you know of a patch, I'd sure appreciate a reply, especially by e-mail, pointing me to it. I haven't been on the U.T. a lot lately, as some of you may have noticed.

TIA,
Rich Addison.
