Hi Richard,

Well, it's a shot in the dark but I'd suggest the following. First, make sure that the configuration file has a line in it reading something like TMPFILES=C:\WHATEVER\ Where the "whatever" is an existing directory on the C: drive. Second, recompile the application, and check the "Rebuild All" checkbox. It sounds like FPW is looking for a non-existant drive during load. This might solve the problem.

hth,
George
